Why Choose KCA?

Gabrielle Maser has a knowledge and passion beyond her years. She is a true professional who loves her craft and brought our cocktail menu to a new level. She was meticulous in making out of this world shrubs for our seasonal craft cocktail menu and loved to share this knowledge with our members and staff. Gabrielle acted as a consultant as well, rearranging all of our bars to make them more functional for service and rewrote our service manual. It was a pleasure to work with Gabrielle. She is “old school” when it comes to the tenants of quality service and product. Anyone looking to learn about the industry would be lucky to learn from her.
