Fran Mathers

I came to the U.S. When I was 17 years old with lots of goals and dreams. Via Real welcomed me in 2011 as a server assistant, giving me a chance to learn about the industry and train as a server and party server. A decade later, I am a floor manager leading a team that's dedicated to welcoming guests into our beautiful family. My ultimate goal is to make each and every guest happy with quality food and service. I take pride in directing my staff to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, making guests feel like they're at home. Thank you for choosing us to host your special occasions, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

"The Son-in-Law"

Born and raised in Irving, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for this community, so planting my roots and raising my family here was incredibly important to me. Outside of being the Events Manager, I’m a proud wife and mama to two sweet boys, Clark and Reed. My love for planning events doesn’t stop at work! I’m always dreaming up the next fun, creative, and over-the-top parties for my boys, nieces, and nephews! With almost 20 years in the industry, I can confidently say I’ve never seen a restaurant quite like Via Real! The ambiance, attention to detail, and passion for creating memorable experiences make it truly something special that I’m blessed to be a part of. It’s truly an honor to play a small part in your biggest celebrations, and I look forward to making each one unforgettable!
