Guilt Trip

1 I am not one of those hovering-over-your-shoulder owners. I allow persons a lot of latitude to either shine or hang themselves. It doesn't always work, but if I were an employee I would be knocking my socks off to impress my boss. I am a taskmaster though, and extremely hard to please. My mantra is 'go big or go home'.

2 I am chef/owner and would like to believe that a few things about me are special. I don't go tooting my own horn, but when I am on my 'A' game, it can be sublime. It's very difficult to maintain standards and costs in this very trying economic environment, but we battle on every day.

3 The menu is large for a Restaurant Week menu, as there are six choices in each category with a number of out-of-the-box ones.

4 My staff will 'kill' themselves trying to deliver that glorious experience. Enough said.

5 It's a wonderful landscape within Kingston. It's accessible. You have a garden, so when you're here you think you're outside of Kingston.
