Bio
Zack Hurowitz
I served on Melanie's front of house team at The Honor Bar of Montecito. Melanie was an incredible manager who truly knew how to motivate her staff to perform their best. She had an impressive talent of training and shaping rookie staff into excellent members of the hospitality industry. She had a sterling reputation both with our staff and our guests alike. She taught me a great deal of the restaurant industry while working beneath her and for this I am very appreciative. Melanie was strong asset to our team and I am glad to have worked beside her.
