Tips as a support staff are awful, maybe $150 biweekly. Servers Tip out 7 percent of their gross sales 2.5 to the bar (yes you tip them on your food sales for whatever reason) and 4.5 to the house. Average day serving you're walking away with about $130-$160. Very seasonal, and very obvious they choose favourites. They schedule you on call and then tell you 2 hours before your shift if you're going to be expected to come in.

I really enjoyed all the relationships I could develop with coworkers as everyone was incredibly nice and supportive! It is a cool location to work at being in such a tourist spot and such a beautiful restaurant!

Really fun and friendly work environment despite the low compensation. I just left because of personal goals/achievements.

The staff is what really kept that place going. Management was very spotty and inconsistent, with people leaving or being fired left right and center. This contributed to lots of issues in scheduling and other managerial errors, and did not take any responsibility for their screw ups.

Training on point, but unexpectedly welcoming and friendly environment for a chain. Holds a high standard so the team is always strong. Great place to work in the summer, massive patio.

So many on call shifts. Servers would get called off regularly even in the summer. Literally a revolving door of employees coming and going. Once one employee orientation was over another would start immediately. Before you know you’re cut early for most shifts, and you only get 4 to 5 tables sections. Didn’t make as much as I should have during the summer. Layoffs start in August.

Nice place but you can find better

  • Shift Flexibility

Management gossips a lot and leaves the heavy duty to the floor workers. Some hardworking people who need to make more are not rewarded. many workers complain and there is a woke culture prevailing which I didn't like.
