History
​
In 1992, Malisse and her husband, Frank, opened their flagship restaurant LockKeepers, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2022. LockKeepers has received consecutive Wine Spectator Best of Awards of Excellence and is an OpenTable Diner’s Choice winner.
​
Malisse and Frank Sinito began their restaurant journey in 1988. Together they ran The River Pub, a busy neighborhood bar in a historic building with a rich 160-year history located on the bank of the Ohio and Erie Canal in Valley View, Ohio. In 1992, the River Pub was closed for two weeks while it was completely renovated and converted to the LockKeepers Inn.

President of Savour Hospitality
LockKeepers was named for its historic location on the bank of the Ohio-Erie Canal and its close proximity to Lock 39. The LockKeepers Inn was a quaint steakhouse with Italian specialties. Malisse ran the kitchen as the opening chef and Frank was the general manager. They both shared one simple objective: Serve the highest quality food with love, care and hospitality like you would offer in your own home. Amazingly, this mission is still emphasized in their company manuals decades later. Lockkeepers, the little restaurant nestled along the Cuyahoga River was a success and soon outgrew its space.

In 1995, Malisse had semi-retired to raise three children. Frank took over the oversight of the restaurant while he was building a new business, Millennia, an apartment management and development company. In 2000, Frank acquired land on the other side of the canal (between the Erie Canal and the Cuyahoga River) and broke ground on Thornburg Station, home to the new Lockkeepers and Millennia’s offices.
The new LockKeepers opened in 2001 and was much larger than the previous space with soaring ceilings, banquet rooms, an upstairs wine cellar/sommelier room, and a patio with views of the Cuyahoga River.

LockKeepers’ extensive wine program was founded by Master Sommelier, John Unger. It has maintained a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for most years since.
In 2009, Malisse returned to run the restaurant while Frank was operating Millennia Companies.
