The bar is most energetic on…
Wednesday and Friday nights. On Wednesday nights, we offer $5 glasses of wine and, being the middle of the week, people love getting out and enjoying good friends, good drinks and good food! Fridays offer a lot of energy, too, with the bar getting an after-work crowd, then a second wave for dinner.
My favorite dishes at City Kitchen are…
Beef short ribs – a savory, delicious dish – and whatever Chef Jessie [Flores] offers as the daily catch.
The most unusual drink I’ve been asked to make…
The funniest was a bourbon and Mountain Dew. We don’t have Mountain Dew, and the guy couldn’t believe it! I got a kick out of that.
My secret to keeping patrons happy is…
Learning people’s names, smiling and having a good time. Also, anticipating what people want as if you were sitting there. People appreciate you wanting them to be there and, more importantly, wanting them to come back!
I wish people knew…
That a lot of people who work in the service industry choose to do it for a career. They have college degrees; they aren’t just doing it because they can’t get anything else. The world is turning to service more and more, and there are a lot of great, smart people out there ready to make your day or night even better than it has already been!
