If you've been dining here at The Half Nelson for a while, then you are sure to recognize this familiar face!
Jeremy, our new front-of-house manager, has been with us since the very beginning. His dedication to great customer service, ensuring needs are met, and his overall positive attitude makes him someone we all hold very dear to our hearts.

So, please take a second to read through this brief Q&A and gain some insight on Jeremy! 👏

Q: You’re now front of house manager here at The Half Nelson….what's been the most exciting part of this transition thus far?
A: Honestly, getting to essentially be everywhere. I get to see what’s going on at all corners of the restaurant. Whenever someone needs something, I have the ability to be there!

Q: What’s been your favorite part of watching The Half Nelson grow?
A: My favorite part has been Chef Connor joining the team and bringing his CRAZY creativity to the table. The man's brain never stops. His creativity is a HUGE reason The Half Nelson has grown so much.

Q: What surprised you the most about .san.lorenzo?
A: THE TURN OUT! Lord do the people of the QC love Italian food! Within the first month of opening we had more guests than the whole patio season of 2024! People had lined up right at open nearly everyday for 3 months straight! I received endless compliments on not only the food, but also the service, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail that everyone put into each guest!

Q: When it comes to customer experience at a restaurant, what is one of the most important aspects you strive to achieve?
A: Everyone wants to be treated special, so that’s what I strive for. I want people to want to come here for more than the food but also feel like they’ve had an experience to talk about. We want a guest to feel comfortable enough to tell us what they love or what they don’t!

Q: Favorite dish on the menu right now?
A: 2 Birds 1 Stone (fruit)! Duck confit-stuffed Chicken? Makes absolutely no sense and I love it.

Q: What is the most valuable thing you’ve learned from the service industry?
A: As cliché of an answer it may be, people respond very well to kindness. So ,BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER!
