Years ago two Actors met while doing a play together in London’s West end. As most people know; Actors tend to wait tables, bartend, manage or all of the above when they’re not… Acting. Such was the case for Helen Wassell-Paez & Alex Paez. When not onstage, Helen managed a few Italian spots in London’s trendy Muswell Hill. She also worked as a wine rep for Belloni Wine Merchants when she wasn’t singing with a band… IN GREEK! Alex got his first taste of serving at “The Library,” a funky little Bistro serving Continental Cuisine (where you could actually borrow books!) on Manhattan’s Upper West Side sometime around 1980. A few years after relocating to Los Angeles (from New York) & managing at various spots in & around town, they made a decision; at this stage in life, if the service industry (between Acting jobs) was to be their livelihood, “better to own the tables you’re waiting on.” And so in 2004 Helen & Alex set out to open their own little place in the “NOHO Arts District” of North Hollywood California. As it turned out, this was not to be.
