Dishwasher

WORKING AT BELL’S 

Based in Los Alamos, CA, Bell’s is a family-run, French-inspired bistro from Per Se alums Daisy and Greg Ryan. Daisy was raised in the Santa Ynez Valley, and our goal in moving back to California was to open a family business—one where we could be creative, support other local  business owners and farmers, and contribute to our community in a meaningful way.  

For our guests and our team, we strive to make Bell’s the most enjoyable restaurant to work in and dine in. That means taking our jobs—and every little detail—seriously, but never taking  ourselves too seriously. Laughter and fun are essential ingredients at Bell’s—just like salt and fat in French cooking.
