What I liked

This location has a very laid back approach. I made friends with the other hosts pretty fast making the job more fun.

What I wish was different

All guest complain to the host stand when something is wrong with their food even though the only thing we can do is refer them to the manager. Management dealt with these issues by giving them a free appetizer each time.

Advice

Be prepared to being called within an hour notice because someone did not show up.
