Pros

It is a great restaurant. The food is wonderful and together with the employee discount it's great. The bar is excellent and they also have a wide selection of liquors. The employees are also great to work with.

Cons

We are almost always understaffed. During friday and saturday night, we would only have 3 cooks in the back. That's not enough.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
