THE RESTAURANT

Xiquet (chee-KETT) by international award-winning Chef Danny Lledó joined the select ranks of MICHELIN Star restaurants in DC in 2021, just one year after first welcoming guests to the intimate dining room in Glover Park. Xiquet is now known as one of the best fine dining restaurants in Washington DC for its modern Spanish cuisine that showcases the finest products from around the world, served with warm, Mediterranean hospitality. The sought-after tasting menu experience showcases innovative preparations of the traditional cuisine of Valencia, ignited by a wood-fire kitchen.

A meal at Xiquet consists of a multi-course culinary experience that begins with tantalizing canapés and aperitivos at the Chef’s Counter on the first level. From there, you are guided upstairs to our airy top-floor dining room, delighting in the excitement and aromas as you pass by Chef Danny’s entirely wood-fire kitchen enclosed in glass. The experience concludes in our elegant mezzanine lounge with after-dinner drinks and special treats.

THE ROLE

We are searching for an outstanding, experienced General Manager to lead all aspects of front-of-house service and management at its Michelin-starred restaurant and wine bar in Glover Park. The GM is an essential leadership and managerial role in our operation. They exude warmth, generosity and an honest passion for hospitality to all guests as well as the team. They are able to train and mentor each team member to bring out the best in themselves while maintaining the service standard. This is a hands-on, culture building role that will lead the FOH team from start of the shift to closing, ensuring each guest has the exceptional experience that is intended.

The successful GM will have a excellent understanding of our style of service as well as our food and beverage offerings, and will work to uphold our standards every day. We thrive in the company of hospitality professionals who are down to earth, who demonstrate hustle, who lead by example, who are excellent and kind mentors, who have strong aesthetic sensibilities and attention to detail, who can problem-solve on the fly, and who show up to work with positive mental attitudes.
