Pros

it's always busy. great co workers. fair hours. fair tip pool promotes wine and food education- so if you're interested in that sort of thing this is THE place to be. For the most part, the management was great, not afraid to dive in and get dirty too.

Cons

No breaks. No staff meals!!!! Physically demanding due to size of restaurant and extraordinary amount of business, so not for everyone. Schedules were often disorganized, perpetually understaffed.

Pros

Decent community and work environment, huge team so you’ll definitely meet some interesting people. Good for gaining early experience in the restaurant industry

Cons

Volume is unpredictable and inconsistent, so you have to be prepared to either be in the weeds with minimal assistance from management or ready to idle for 3 hours with two walk-ins per hour and no reservations. And the tourists are exceptionally insufferable here
