While it’s important to be professional, we try not to take ourselves too seriously at Sepia. People come to restaurants to have a good time, to enjoy the food and wine, and relax. No matter how serious you are about what you do, you should never forget the reasons why guests are there. They aren’t there to worship at a temple.
While we can spend hours, days even, in the kitchen on a dessert—once it is served at the table we can only hope that it is momentarily marvelled at before it is consumed. Something that can be painstaking to create for the team can be just a brief moment for a guest. So we need to make sure our efforts are not in vain, and that that moment is a magical one.
