  • A genuine passion for hospitality and guest experience
  • A team-first attitude and positive, professional demeanor
  • Strong food, wine, and spirits knowledge, or a passion to learn
  • Interest in seasonal, regional, and sustainable ingredients

Part of Restaurants by Chef Jeremiah Langhorne and Alex Zink

At The Dabney, we source our food from the Mid-Atlantic’s finest farms and purveyors. The centerpiece of our open kitchen is a wood-burning hearth that allows us to showcase the region’s versatility while staying true to its classic cooking methods. In our dining room, guests will find bare tables and exposed historic brick walls, service that’s refined but relaxed, and a dining experience that’s unpretentious, delicious, and fun.
