On December 7, 1996, he opened the flagship Yard House along the Long Beach waterfront in Southern California. The concept was a huge success and the Yard House brand grew to 39 restaurants across 13 states before it sold to Darden Restaurants for $585 million in 2012.

Now retired, Steele Platt can be found enjoying his favorite things, spending his time with his family, on the golf course and giving back to the community.<\/p>
