We’ve opened the doors to an extraordinary new restaurant in the heart of New York City — the first NYC outpost from the acclaimed team behind our Michelin-starred flagship. A place where refined service meets bold creativity, and where every guest interaction is an opportunity to create something unforgettable.

As part of our front-of-house team, you’ll help shape the culture, pace, and energy of one of the city’s most anticipated new openings.

  • Ideally experienced in a Michelin-starred or nationally recognized restaurant

  • Graceful under pressure, with a love for guest interaction and seamless service

  • Knowledgeable about global cuisine, wine, and high-touch tableside experiences

  • Collaborative, communicative, and ready to help build something special from the ground up

What We Offer:

  • A chance to join the team of a high-profile, design-forward concept

  • Competitive pay and tip structure

  • Growth opportunities within a respected hospitality group

  • Pre-opening training that’s immersive and inspiring

  • A workplace culture grounded in excellence, mutual respect, and joy

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to be part of something rare and remarkable. If you’re ready to make your mark on New York’s dining scene, we want to meet you.

📩 Apply now with your resume and a short note about what excites you most about joining our team.
