Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We have a ZERO tolerance policy when it comes to sexual harassment. Our entire purpose is centered around guest satisfaction. How can we have happy guests if our staff members don't feel safe or respected coming to work? Please call our staff relations department when you can to discuss the details of this further. You can reach them at 818-871-3000. We need to investigate these allegations and take action if necessary.

Pros

The food is very tasty!

Cons

Management style - favoritism/unprofessional/bad sections to new employees Odd hours/low pay (dependent upon section) I could not stress enough how bad the management was at this location. Sections do not rotate/based on seniority I would leave with on average 30 dollars a night because I was continually placed in low volume section The tip out is 30% of pay!!! Absolutely crazy-tip our bartender/bus/food runners The sidework was UNBELIEVABLE-took over an hour to complete!! It was the worst job I’ve ever had in my life...but I’m happy I have quite a few horror/funny stories to tell about my experience there
