Host Hostess

Block Island Beach House's restaurant The Surf has been a celebratory staple of the generations of Block Island visitors. Just steps from the beach, our bustling and breezy restaurant is the first stop for your island adventure. Also located on site, our Beach Bar offers the full open-air outdoor beach experience: frosé all day, classic summer cocktails, and a laid-back vibe from above Crescent Beach. As the days get warmer and we bring the restaurant back to life after its winter hibernation, we're excited to grow our team with outstanding individuals. We're currently looking for a energetic host/hostess to join our incredible FOH family and help lead us into an amazing season ahead. This position has opportunity to expand into supporting our events team with serving and bartending as well. Key duties include greeting guests, escorting them to tables, managing reservations and waitlists, answering phone calls, and maintaining a clean and organized reception area. They are often the first point of contact for guests, requiring excellent customer service skills, a friendly demeanor, strong communication abilities, and the ability to handle busy situations efficiently.
