Its the restaurant industry so probably not.

I second this. Plus I can only imagine the pretentiousness that walks through those doors.

I've eaten there twice by invitation. The staff did NOT look happy. Sour faces dropping plates at the table. It was fancy but didn't look inviting

I’m a chef at a independently owned local restaurant group. Four in the state. I’ve had servers come from there to work for us. It’s just nothing special, just overpriced crap slapped on a plate. (I’ve also eaten there) just wasn’t impressed at all. Just the same generic stuff you get most places. Also strange I saw this because I was chatting with regulars at the bar tonight after service and they told me they were there tonight (thanksgiving) and it was PROCEEDED Turkey they got served. I also heard from a few people the owner is a major dick and a cheapskate. As far as hosting goes I don’t have that experience, but you’ll be stressed to hell on busy nights while the servers bring home wads of money and you get hourly. Maybe they tip you out but not sure how they do it there.

Go apply to anywhere in the Newport Restaurant Group.

This all day long...we frequent NRG for a reason. Great employees and a company that cares about them!

Not a bad restaurant in the bunch!

Not true, this is my 21st year as a server. I'm not miserable at all. I don't work at this restaurant though.

The only issue I have w the NRG is that they went on the news to complain that "nOboDy wAntS To wOrk anYmoRe" when the pandemic was receding last year. However, they do have a loyalty program that is some kind of profit sharing thing from what I heard from former employees. I'd also agree their food and service is great.

My son works at one of the NRG restaurants, not Chapel Grille. It's the first restaurant in a decade that he feels welcome by the other employees and likes what he does. His anxiety is basically non-existent now and they work well to accommodate his Asperger's.

the labor participation data empirically shows this
