As a native of Denver I've seen the city change a lot, the culinary scene especially and am happy to be a part of it. I've been in the restaurant industry for nearly a decade now and have been with duo since the beginning in 2005. I love being behind the bar because of its ever growing and changing dynamics. Not a day goes by that I don't learn a new drink or find a new beer, wine or spirit. Colorado is especially great for a bartender because our amazing brewers and distillers are constantly putting out great new products.
The most important thing for me though is our guests. We get the most amazing people coming into duo every day and I'm passionate and committed to making sure that everyone has a fun and educational experience while enjoying amazing food, drink and service.
Stephanie Atencio, Manager:
I was drawn to the hospitality industry while working at various restaurants in Colorado and Montana ski resorts. In 1999, I graduated from Western State College of Colorado with a degree in Outdoor Education and Hospitality Management. I worked briefly for Jay and Judy's catering in Arkansas. The highlight of this job was the opportunity I had to serve former President Bill Clinton. I began my journey with the duo/Olivéa Restaurant family as a server at Olivéa in January of 2010. In February of 2011 I jumped at the offer to move into an assistant manager position. I am excited to have my place on the duo team, and want to further duo's success by ensuring a delightful and entertaining guest experience.
