Wine Director

Maritime Boat Club

Helmed by Chef Felix Santos (Quince, Atelier Crenn, Sorrel), Maritime Boat Club is an independently run  restaurant inside of the Palihotel and will showcase a market-driven menu of locally sourced seafood and seasonal produce, highlighting all the best that the Greater Bay Area and Pacific coastline has to offer. Our price point will allow guests to be able to splurge, or have a casual cost-friendly dinner- with all the same great hospitality that Maritime has become known for. With a focus on quality and sustainability, the menu will change frequently, offering a dynamic and refined dining experience.

The Wine Director position at Maritime Boat Club will be solely focused on all things wine. Wine is intended to be a very major part of the Bar Maritime & Maritime Boat Club experience. We will look to provide some of the best pricing in San Francisco on our entry level bottles and our high end Burgundy.

We will feature top hospitality and technical touches combined with a laid back attitude and environment.
