"Last night was a masterpiece. The appetizers were to die for. The table setting exquisite. The entrees and deserts were all simply fantastic. The evening flowed perfectly and the staff were consummate professionals. Sorry we didn't get a chance to introduce you to the crew but we were in the flow. Want to make sure we take care of your staff so please send a recommendation on gratuities. Thanks!" - Quote from a recent client |

Message from Hugh

Happy Summer!
I'm excited to announce the launch of our newest round of the Two Minute Tip Video Series with Berkeleyside. Our sponsor this time around is the fabulous Berkeley Bowl Supermarket, and we filmed the next three videos live at their huge Heinz St. location. See the first video launching today on Berkeleyside!
I'm happy to report that business is thriving in this intense Bay Area economy, and we are taking advantage of the environment to expand our team and continue to evolve. If you know any wonderful people looking for work in the food industry, please send them our way!
Phil's Catering is available INCLUDING DELIVERY anywhere within a 45 minute radius from the restaurant, and we've been getting lots of orders for office catering, fundraisers and birthday parties for our yummy sliders and homemade potato tots.
Hugh Groman Catering continues to grow. We are enjoying the planning of fun, creative, beautiful events with an emphasis on quality food and service.
Greenleaf Platters has added some new menu items contributed by our team that are really delicious and exciting to serve. We have a new smoked salmon musubi, chinese chicken salad on endive, and a variety of gluten free and vegan breakfast items, cookies and cupcakes. Fun!
Many hugs!
Hugh

Staff Spotlight
Nina Ruebner
|
Nina has been working with The Hugh Groman Group for 15 years! Nina is from the Bay area and is proud to be Hugh's older and wiser sister (and one of his best friends.) She graduated from UC Berkeley long ago and since then, has worked in Marketing and Customer Relationship Management at several companies, ranging from Volvo Cars of North America to Internet start-ups. Nina feels very lucky to have a part-time job that gives her the flexibility to take care of her two beautiful boys.
She loves working for Hugh because she gets to talk to interesting clients all day, and because of the great group of people that work at HGG. We love Nina for her easy going nature, her great sense of humor, her intelligence, her understanding of customer service and her speedy work! We are very happy to have her as a part of the team!
