BLACKBARN
Unlike the famous comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall — there is absolutely no way one can forget our Sarah!
“Under the dimmed lights during dinner service at Black Barn, Sarah Marshall lights the room and our hearts like a radiant ray of sunshine. Like a conductor in an orchestra, Sarah is looked to by our team to receive crystal clear direction.
She engages everyone she meets with warmth and enthusiasm, while coordinating all the movements necessary to ensure seamless service and memorable hospitality. Lovely is a good adjective to describe the way she dances between tables, making sure our guests have everything they need and desire.”
Sarah’s motivation is simple, it’s excellent hospitality built on the act of making people feel genuinely cared for. Her passion and dedication to uncompromised hospitality benefit us all!
