We, the undersigned residents of Terreno by DiVosta, respectfully petition for the immediate reinstatement of Monica Martinez as Restaurant Manager of Olive & Thyme.
Since assuming her role, Monica has demonstrated exceptional leadership, dedication, and a genuine commitment to creating a welcoming dining experience for our community. Despite operating with limited resources and less than ideal staffing levels, she has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels valued and well cared for.
Monica leads by example. On any given day, she can be found running food to tables, busing dishes, checking in with diners to make sure they are enjoying their meals, and stepping in wherever she is needed. Her willingness to do whatever it takes—regardless of title or job description—reflects a level of work ethic and humility that is rare and deeply appreciated by the residents of this community.
Beyond her work ethic, Monica brings a warmth and personal touch that sets the tone for the entire dining experience at Olive & Thyme. She knows our names, remembers our preferences, and makes each visit feel personal. Her positive energy is felt not only by guests but by the staff she leads.
Removing Monica from this position would be a disservice to the residents of Terreno and to the standard of hospitality that our community deserves. We urge decision-makers to recognize the value she brings and to reinstate her without delay.
Monica really seemed to care about the restaurant. She was always dressed in theme (which everyone loved) with a smile on her face and happy to greet you.
