The job itself is high-energy and fast-paced, which is important to me. I also really love my fellow employees, as the group dynamic is wonderful and working at the Atlantic Inn is made very fun by the people I work with. As someone who enjoys good quality food, working in a fine dining restaurant allows me to talk in depth with kitchen staff as well as diners about the quality and other aspects of the food we serve. Furthermore, as the Atlantic is an Inn, we also put on weddings, which has given me a lot of experience in catering and production of weddings (and, while they require long hours, weddings are SO much fun to work).
What I wish was different
Because this is a summer job, I wish that I were able to work there in the winter months as well. This isn't possible due to distance. Other than this, though, this job is pretty ideal.
Advice
Make sure you have enough energy and focus to commit to this restaurant-type job. You have to always be on top of everything, and be able to give your attention to multiple people at once. Also, getting along with your coworkers is essential to not only succeeding in this field, but to enjoying it as well.
