About Neil Clooney
Neil Clooney and Dee Clooney are living the American dream! They moved to Ashland in 2002 after having a combined 30 years of restaurant service industry experience in England’s premier hotels and restaurants. Upon arriving in California they took up managerial positions in Isabel Cruz and Billy Tosheff’s acclaimed Cantina in San Diego. At Cantina, Dee assumed control of the front of the house and Neil in the kitchen. Two successful years followed before they formed a business partnership with Cruz and Tosheff and opened up Dragonfly Cafe and Gardens in Ashland.
