The Caf An Exceptional Environment

Catch Phrase: "Where the Stars are treated like Locals & Locals are treated like Stars."

It is our objective to make EVERYONE who walks into our establishment's day a little better. How that happens is the magic of it. We will see you when you walk in, we will communicate with you directly, and we will use our knowledge, experience and empathy to enhance your time with us,

Mission Statement: We will carry ourselves with dignity, treat others with common courtesy and respect, and have reverence for our surroundings......We'll then expect our guests to act in kind.

Service Concept: This is a concept of passion about food, service, wine, and community. Our vision is one of a confident, educated and welcoming staff who will translate the meaning of this concept to each one of our guests and be a concierge to our clientele. Consistency of service is paramount in delivering the desired experience, from the minute they pick up the phone to make a reservation, to the minute they return to their car.

Hourly Staff Schedule Requirements

All staff are kindly asked to understand that the property operation is 7 dinners and 2 brunches a week, inclusive of all holidays. While the company will make every attempt to create a work and life balance, all hourly paid team members may be asked to work extended shifts and additional days based on business demands. The busiest of days are June through September, the weekend days from Friday through Sunday, and on holiday weekends that are celebrated on Mondays, this can include Mondays.
