Job Details
Aska is a fine dining, two Michelin-starred restaurant owned by Swedish chef Fredrik Berselius. We serve a 12-14 course tasting menu in an intimate yet spacious, ten-table dining room.

We are committed to being industry leaders and leading by example. Working with us means working harmoniously, respectfully, passionately, and towards personal growth. Working with us means that you will be personally valued.
A Captain at Aska has an advanced understanding of how to interact with guests and is the main contact for guiding our guests through all aspects of our unique menu and service.
Captains possess a general knowledge of the wine list, and a thorough understanding of the menu and how the two interact.

The Captain/Sommelier relationship is paramount to a guest’s experience, and they must be able to work in tandem to provide exceptional experiences for our guests.
