In this role, she is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the restaurant and, above all, ensuring the highest quality of guest experiences. Since joining Per Se in 2013, Sandra began as a Captain and quickly rose to Maître d’ and, most recently, General Manager. 

With each role, she has shown achievement and an adherence to the core values Chef Keller has set for his restaurants. Her previous experience includes working in senior management roles in international hospitality, and she brings this expertise to Per Se.
