We're a small, highly intentional dining room with a strong focus on hospitality, team culture, and a thoughtful, wine-led experience. We're currently hiring both Front Servers, Back Servers, and Hosts to join our service team. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work in a collaborative, detail-oriented environment and grow within a structured, high-level service model. About the Role Our service team operates as one unit. While roles may differ slightly day-to-day, all team members are expected to support the full guest experience, from greeting to reset. Front Servers lead the guest experience on the floor, guiding guests through the menu, pacing the meal, and driving the overall flow of service. Back Servers support the floor through table maintenance, running food, resetting, and anticipating guest and team needs. This role is often a pathway into a Front Server position. What We're Looking For We're less focused on years of experience and more focused on how you show up.
