Remembering 25 Years: Q&A with George's Staff
Ted Johnston (aka “The Admiral”), server
Q: Describe your most memorable moment at George’s at the Cove?
A:
“I started working at George’s at the Cove in 1985 (1984 would have been too Orwellian to suit me). My most memorable moment was my job interview with George. He asked me how long I planned on working at the restaurant and I said I would stay until our lease ran out. I’ve now worked at George’s for half my life (you do the math)! So, my most memorable moment is keeping my promise to George.”
Frankie Thaheld, mixologist
Q: After 25 years in business, what do you think the secret is to George’s success?
“I believe the attention to every detail in the restaurant, from the way guests are greeted on the phone or at the front door, to the cappuccino that I will prepare them as their final dining moment, is the key to George's success. As a guest, you really feel confident that you can throw your cares away for a couple of hours and know that you will be well taken care of by everyone.”
Kristine Sauer, special events director
Q: What do you value most about being part of the George’s team?
A:
“I truly value the people. Since joining George’s in 2001, I’ve made so many dear friends here and our staff really feels like family to me. I have never worked for a company that is so warm and has such a sense of camaraderie.”
