Do you have any skills that are not food-related?
Networking, organizing and volunteering with business-related things, both with Balboa Island and the Restaurant Association.
Is there anything you'd like readers to know about your restaurant?
Our restaurant is very special because of family! Our family here at Wilma's consists of several family members, including brothers, cousins, mothers, daughters and sons. We have all worked together for many years, and it works beautifully.
We have many second generation employees who are on staff, including my own. We extend this feeling to our family of customers. We have watched so many families grow over the years, so we welcome your family to ours at Wilma's Patio!
