Elevated Hospitality. Exceptional Service.

Our flagship restaurant is seeking an experienced Dining Room Manager to help lead an exceptional fine dining operation. This is an opportunity for a hospitality professional who understands that true luxury service is defined by the details—from the first guest interaction to the final farewell.

The ideal candidate is a polished, hands-on leader who thrives on the floor, develops service talent, and is passionate about creating memorable experiences for every guest.

What We Offer

  • Transportation and/or parking reimbursement
  • Complimentary meals during shifts
  • Generous vacation and PTO policy
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Clothing allowance
  • Opportunity to grow within an established hospitality organization

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with the Assistant General Manager to oversee daily front-of-house operations and ensure consistently exceptional service.
  • Lead by example on the dining room floor, maintaining a polished, professional, and highly attentive presence throughout service.
  • Deliver a refined guest experience by anticipating needs, recognizing repeat and VIP guests, and ensuring personalized hospitality.
  • Coach, mentor, and develop service staff on fine dining standards, service sequence, menu knowledge, hospitality, and professional presentation.
  • Conduct and participate in pre-shift meetings, service briefings, and ongoing staff training.
  • Maintain close communication between the dining room, culinary team, bar, and management to ensure seamless service.
  • Monitor table pacing, reservations, seating flow, and service timing to create a smooth and well-paced dining experience.
  • Handle guest concerns and service recovery with professionalism, discretion, and sound judgment.
  • Maintain rigorous standards for dining room presentation, cleanliness, table settings, uniforms, and overall restaurant appearance.
  • Support management in achieving sales, labor, and operational goals while maintaining the service standards expected of a fine dining environment.
  • Assist with special events, private dining, VIP experiences, and high-profile guest engagements.
  • Promote a culture of hospitality, accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

What We're Looking For

  • Fine dining or luxury hospitality experience strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of elevated service standards and proper dining room etiquette.
  • A genuine passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences.
  • Proven ability to lead, coach, and develop a professional service team.
  • Strong floor presence with the ability to remain composed and attentive in a high-pressure environment.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
  • Business acumen and an understanding of restaurant financial and operational goals.
  • High level of professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail.
  • Ability to anticipate guest needs and consistently exceed expectations.
