Who We Are:
At McGuire Moorman Lambert Hospitality (MML), our mission is to create some of the world’s most memorable hospitality experiences—where food, design, service, and storytelling come together seamlessly. Led by Larry McGuire, Tom Moorman, and Liz Lambert, MML is known for its refined, character-driven approach to hospitality, rooted in creativity, quality, and a deep sense of place.

As we continue to grow, we're entering an exciting new chapter. We've welcomed James Beard Award-winning chef April Bloomfield to our culinary leadership team and are bringing new energy to iconic and emerging destinations alike—with projects like the historic Driskill Hotel, Sixth & Blanco, Clark’s Malibu, and more on the horizon.

At MML, we’re not just building restaurants or hotels—we’re crafting spaces that leave a lasting impression.

  • Neighborhood Sushi – A neighborhood favorite known for its laid-back atmosphere, exceptional hospitality, and crave-worthy sushi and Japanese-inspired dishes.

Join us as we continue building vibrant restaurants rooted in great food, genuine hospitality, and memorable guest experiences.
