WE ARE FAMILY!
TERRY

TERRY

THE LONE FRONT OF HOUSE GOD 🍷⚡

For years, Terry has proudly walked the floors of The Plaza as the only Front of House God surrounded by a sea of Goddesses… and somehow, he’s survived to tell the tale. A true Plaza “Lifer,” Terry has seen it all—Friday night chaos, flaming Saganakis flying through the dining room, wine spills, endless coffee refills, staff drama, live music nights, and probably at least 47 “quick questions” while carrying six plates at once. Known for his quick wit, calm demeanor, and effortless ability to make every guest feel at home, Terry has become part of The Plaza’s foundation. Guests know him. Staff rely on him. And honestly… we’re convinced he knows where every single thing in the restaurant is hidden… but he would never tell you. In fact, he would probably just smile, shrug his shoulders and say, “I don’t know.”
 
Outside of The Plaza, Terry is an incredibly proud father. Almost all of The Plaza’s life-long guests have heard at least one funny, heartwarming, or unforgettable story about Chloe—his pride and joy. If you’ve dined in Terry’s section a few times, chances are you’ve heard one too.
 
BUT WHAT MANY PLAZA GUESTS DON’T KNOW…
Beneath that calm, seasoned veteran exterior lies a talent worthy of Mount Olympus itself…
🎤 The man can SING. 🎤
Some say the Greek Gods blessed him with golden pipes. Others believe that years of surviving as the only man surrounded by Plaza Goddesses simply forced him to find his voice.
 
WHATEVER THE REASON…
Terry isn’t just a valued member of The Plaza family.
He is part of The Plaza legend. 🧿

STARR

STARR

✨ GODDESS STARR ✨

Some people find a job… others find a second family.
Starr joined The Plaza when she was just 14 years old, beginning as a busser and hostess before quickly becoming the kind of team member every restaurant dreams of having. Whether she was preparing salads, portioning dips, helping with kitchen prep, or organizing absolutely everything in sight, one thing became clear very quickly…
This Goddess never stops moving.
To say Starr is hardworking would be one of the biggest understatements imaginable.
By day, Starr works at one of Kenora’s senior assisted living homes, where she spends her days encouraging residents to stay active, engaged, and smiling. Her compassion doesn’t end when her shift does, though. She also devotes countless hours to caring for her beloved Grandma Janice, always putting family first.
Then, a few evenings each month, she brings that same energy and infectious spirit back home to The Plaza.
Starr is the very definition of the life of the party. Her laugh is contagious, her enthusiasm is endless, and she has a way of making every room she’s in just a little brighter. She wears her heart on her sleeve, treats people with genuine kindness, and always tries to find the good in everyone.
…Well… almost everyone.
Ask anyone at The Plaza about Starr and Terry, and they’ll tell you the two bicker like an old married couple. It’s all in good fun, and watching them go back and forth has become part of the Plaza entertainment.
What makes Starr truly special isn’t just her beautiful smile or her incredible work ethic—it’s her heart. She is loyal, compassionate, thoughtful, and the kind of person who leaves every place a little better than she found it.
The day Starr decides it’s time for a new adventure will be a difficult one around here. She has been such an important part of our Plaza family, and while we’ll miss her dearly, there’s no doubt in my mind that she is destined to do amazing things.
Until then, we’re grateful that this Goddess still shines at The Plaza.
And yes… she’s even earned something very few people can say…
Starr has her very own menu item: Starr’s OPA Bowl!

Konstantina “Tina" Adamopoulos

Head Goddess / Owner

Anyone who’s come to Plaza has likely encountered Tina in one of her many aspects. On any given night you will find her greeting you, serving you, making your drinks, catching up local news or back in the kitchen cooking or doing the dishes. In short, she does it all! She welcomes patrons as treasured guests and acts as den mother to all of her staff, who she considers to be family.

Kitchen Staff

Gods of Food

Regulars to the Plaza knows one thing…that the food is consistent and you will always get a perfectly prepared meal. It’s no surprise that the two main cooks at Plaza have been with the family for over 16 years! Jason (a.k.a. Jzan) and Barry are fixtures at Plaza and are ready to whip up a special or cook that perfect steak at a moment’s notice. Sheldon adds to the kitchen output helping with prep and line work. The family theme runs strong within the kitchen as both Jzan and Barry are dedicated Dads who both are passionate about their families. You may recognize Jzan in his alter-ego as a DJ at Shooters, and maybe you’ll catch Barry out on the lake indulging in a little ice fishing, while Sheldon has confessed to enjoying indoor sports such as gaming! You may not see them when you visit Plaza, but they are a constant, making sure that each plate would meet Tina’s Grandmother’s approval.

Server Staff

Gods & Goddesses of Serving

Making every guest feel welcome and at home is a job that the exceptional severs at Plaza excel at. You may have been served once or twice by Terry, who has been a staple at Plaza for 15 years. Stacey and Joanne are always present to make sure that you are comfortable and well fed, and Plaza has recently welcomed back Cindy, who worked at the original Plaza over 30 years ago! Professional, yet warm, the servers will make sure you feel welcome in this stylish, yet relaxed atmosphere. Stick around for dessert and you may get a story or two about Terry’s legendary annual camping trip to Rushing River with his daughter, Stacey’s aspirations to star in a horror movie, the latest concert that Joanne has attended, or Cindy’s love of gardening!

Hosting Staff

Gods & Goddesses of Hospitality

The Plaza has the hosts with the most! Staff lovingly refer to the hosts as “the kids”, a charming group of youth who have had the amazing opportunity to grow and learn skills in the hospitality industry. Starr, Hayden, Antonie and Stephanie are here to greet you, seat you, and get you settled in. Hayden has been a fixture at the Plaza even before he was born….his parents shared their first date there! Antonie is Tina’s goddaughter, and you may recognize Starr from around town with her love of local sports while Stephanie is setting her sights on some higher learning. Come out for dinner and be greeted with warmth and a smile!
