About the Owner
Michael Castle was born with a natural creativity for cooking and restaurant design. Growing up in a large family with 6 brothers provided the perfect environment for developing his cooking skills. At a very young age, he knew he wanted open his own restaurant.
At fourteen, Michael began working at the Mobile Four Star rated Potted Steer Restaurant in Osage Beach. He bussed tables at night and learned the basics of kitchen preparation during the day. Upon graduation from high school he left home to attend the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He completed his externship at the Executive Center in Columbia, Missouri.
After graduation, he moved to Lake of the Ozarks where he was Sous Chef at The Blue Heron Restaurant for three years. Michael then accepted the general manager position at The Potted Steer Restaurant for seven years.
In 1995, along with his wife Cheryl, he took ownership of On the Rise Bakery. He soon built up a loyal clientele and outgrew his restaurant space. In 1998 he purchased a property only a short distance away and the new On the Rise Bakery & Wood-fired Bistro was constructed.
The restaurant has grown continually and has seen multiple renovations/additions throughout the years including a retail space, new patio and private dining space.
Reservations are highly recommended especially for larger groups and private parties. Call us at 573-348-4224 to arrange your Christmas party.
