Join a dinner-only restaurant that blends elevated cuisine with genuine hospitality. The seasonal menu was developed by a Michelin-selected chef, and the restaurant has earned national recognition after being featured on Season 23 of Top Chef.

If you enjoy leading from the floor, developing great people, and creating memorable guest experiences, we'd love to speak with you.

The Restaurant Manager partners with the General Manager and Executive Chef to lead the daily front-of-house operation while creating a culture centered around hospitality, teamwork, and operational excellence.

This is a highly visible leadership role where you'll coach the team, engage with guests, and ensure every service reflects the restaurant's commitment to quality.

What You'll Do

• Maintain a strong presence in the dining room, supporting guests and team members.
• Recruit, hire, train, coach, and develop hourly team members.
• Partner closely with the Executive Chef to deliver seamless service between the front and back of house.

• Proven ability to lead, coach, and motivate high-performing teams.
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience managing labor, guest satisfaction, and daily restaurant operations.
• Calm, confident leadership in fast-paced environments.
• A hands-on leader who enjoys being on the floor and leading by example.
