On the Water can serve not only local Hollywood area residents, but also tourists and party animals.
If there has been a decline in the general economic, the impact on the restaurant industry is often less than that of the overall economy. It is partially due to the perception that food, from the grocery store or restaurant, is a fundamental need of life. People spend accordingly.
The Service and Products
On the Water’s impeccable service is a constant. Each of the server staff is highly skilled and undergoes three weeks of training. This ensures that they provide outstanding customer service. The Water’s services are provided in an exceptional atmosphere that features a wide range of art and culture collections from Mediterranean Europe. This authentic setting can be distracting at times as people look through the wealth of artifacts.
Lily Valdivia’s pride is this menu. It’s the result of more than twenty years of experience in cooking. Traditional favorites like hummus and baba Ghannoj are included in the menu. These favourites are differentiated by using the freshest organic ingredient. Most people are not aware of how much better the items taste when they are prepared with the freshest ingredients and made with love. There are also kebobs (and chutneys), flat breads (and desserts). Every item is freshly prepared and homemade daily.
Management
Lily Valdivia – a restaurant veteran – is in charge of the restaurant. Her first job as a waitress was 12 years ago. She quickly moved up to fine dining serving where she perfected her formal, customer-centric serving approach. Lily has been the Manager at a European Restaurant with more than $2.5 Million in annual sales for the past five year. As mentioned earlier, Lily started cooking 20 years ago as a child in Greece. Lily comes from a large extended family and quickly took on the responsibility of cooking for her whole family. She was trained by her mother, who has three generations of traditional recipes. Lily quickly master these skills and began creating her own dishes. Her family’s feedback was always positive. She knew she would one day have to use this talent in a business venture.
