do their patrons—like they’re members of their own family. Which is one of the reasons why they’ve retained such exceptional team members throughout the pandemic and the challenging months that proceeded. “When we’ve had enough for one night and the team has worked hard and given their best, we don’t want to choke on the tail at the end of the night, so when we’ve had enough for one night—we’ve had enough,” Morgan said. “We’re not going to push our staff as far as we can and compromise the integrity of service or food. Other restaurants would say, ‘Oh, they’re still coming in’ and fill more tables, and that’s when mistakes happen, and the experience isn’t what it should be.”
