HOSPITALITY AT IT'S BEST...
My wife and I recently stopped by Seasons Rotisserie & Grill in Old Town before meeting up with friends to ride the Duke City Pedaler. As we walked upstairs to the rooftop bar, we were greeted immediately by Keith, one of the owners. I told him he probably wouldn’t remember me, but back in my college days I had the privilege of waiting on him and his wife Lynn... as well as his brother Kevin and his wife Cat many times. The four of them were always an absolute pleasure to serve.
Owning and operating several successful restaurants gives them a seasoned perspective on food, service, and experience. And yet, what stood out to me then and still does now, is their kindness, grace, and genuine gratitude. Those qualities are what have made them some of the most memorable people I ever encountered in the service industry.
It’s been about twelve years since I last worked in the industry, but every time I’ve seen Keith, Lynn, Kevin, or Cat since then, they’ve remained the same... approachable, humble, and kind and always smiling. For anyone who’s ever worked in hospitality, you know it’s a tough business, and the best people are those who lead by example. That’s exactly who they are.
Whether it’s Seasons, Savoy, or the now-closed Zinc, you’ll find them doing whatever it takes to ensure a great experience... hosting, bussing, pouring drinks, running food, or, like Keith did during this visit, quietly placing a small wedge under our table to make it perfectly level. That tiny gesture says everything about their approach: nothing is beneath them when it comes to taking care of their guests.
I never worked for them, but I would have been proud to. If you ever get the chance, visit their restaurants, meet them, and experience what true hospitality feels like. You’ll be well taken care of... every time!
