Job Description
Black-Eyed Susans is a beach casual restaurant & tavern in Harvey Cedars opened by chef partners Ashley Pellagrino & Christopher Sanchez. You may recognize a few familiar dishes from the past, but our new "tavern-style" concept is a casual dining concept with a rotating menu of artisan pizzas, house-made pastas, fresh seafood, salads and shareable items. Our food is both highly creative and very approachable. We create menus based on seasonally available ingredients, much of which are sourced from local farms, distributors, and fishermen. We believe that the best food is grown locally and with respect for the environment, so we've spent the past 14 years building relationships with farmers and fishermen who fit the bill! We use many organic ingredients, sustainably caught fish and seafood, and pasture raised meats. Our wines are thoughtfully chosen to provide customers with incredible values. We have a certified level II sommelier on staff who strives to present our guests with unique and delicious wines that accompany our cuisine. Our cocktails are simple and well-executed, utilizing fresh ingredients and thoughtfully selected spirits in order to create delicious drinks to be enjoyed on their own or with our food.
