Beautiful location, great kitchen staff, great core front of house staff, great tips during patio season and buyout events.

The culture when I started was fantastic, but got consistently worse as Tap & Barrel upper management and HQ became increasingly more corporate. First summer our wait times for a table had people lining up down the block, when I left it was significantly less. We went through four GMs in that time, can’t speak to how things are going now.

lots of staff rotation, its a very seasonal place. company is opening several restaurants so they give their attention to new locations and the older ones suffer.

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.
