Who We Are
We are a family-owned restaurant business that started in 1969 in Portland, Oregon by Guss and Sally Dussin. We are committed to an outstanding dining experience for our guests. Through a unique restaurant environment, the use of top quality products, distinctive menu items, freshly prepared meals, and excellent hospitable service by personable and friendly team members, we offer an exceptional value like no one else.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We are in business to serve our guests. We are all members of our family in spirit. Positive reinforcement, team building and a true sense of belonging are concepts promoted for all personnel and throughout the Company.
HOW WE BEHAVE
Our Company is founded on the principles of honesty, integrity and hard work. The foundation of our success is built on living these values and following the Guiding Principles. Everyone works together to provide a great guest experience and an enjoyable work environment. All of us from the President to the team members in the restaurants have a role and a responsibility in our mutual success.
The Old Vic under Artistic Director Matthew Warchus is a place that encourages a new love of theatre, as well as offering a refreshing experience to those who keep coming back for more. It is a theatre steeped in tradition yet still innovating and making history today through a huge variety of output on and off stage which grabs the imagination of the broadest range of people.
The Old Vic programme encompasses invigorating new writing; works that engage with a wide social conversation; nurturing new musicals, mounting passionate revivals and famous old plays; experimentation with quirky, eye-opening and challenging pieces; and family shows and pantomimes. In addition, we work with over 10,000 people each year of all ages and backgrounds to unlock creative intelligence through school projects, employability schemes and community engagement. All of this is achieved whilst operating as a not-for-profit organisation without a regular subsidy, in an almost 200 year old building with a touch of magic about it.
