Well it is official, I have left the bar at Moxie’s for a better place. The new restaurant is called Mint and is a fine dining establishment. This new position should present a number of opportunities that Moxie’s couldn’t, including making real cocktails. Unfortunately, Moxie’s was stuck in the “liquid candy” style of drinks which wasn’t quit my style. Mint is a 60+ seat restaurant set to open in the first week of July. The bar will seat 10 people. Right now I’m working on the cocktail list. Luckily, the owner was a bartender when he first entered the Food & Beverage business, so he is very open to serving classic cocktails and modern creations. This should be a much better opportunity for me. As we get closer to opening, I’ll provide the updates.
That sounds like a great job. Good luck!
Congratulations, Darcy. I think that you will find it to be a totally different experience. A high-end restaurant with an equally high-end lounge/bar is a place where you can really take off. I have been involved with the opening of several of these and it can be awesome. Take your time with your list....do your research....and you will get a great name for yourself. Quality and innovation are as important in the bar as they are in the kitchen. I look forward to hearing how it's going!
Congrats Darcy!
Good luck in your new endeavor.
I know you're in Canada, what city will the new place be in?
I look forward to reading more about it.
