About Bar Cosme
Chef Enrique Olvera and the Casamata team have just opened Bar Cosme at 11 Great Jones Street in NoHo. Inspired by the bar at our sibling restaurant Cosme, Bar Cosme is a restaurant and cocktail bar built for the evening, with a full sharing menu, prix-fixe and à la carte options, and an emphasis on raw and lightly cooked dishes served with tortillas made fresh in house. We’re growing our kitchen team and looking for a Line Cook who wants to help shape a new restaurant in its first season.
The Role
Reporting to Chef de Cuisine Milton Revilla, the Line Cook executes Bar Cosme’s menu with precision and consistency, preparing every dish to our recipes, techniques, portions, and presentation standards at the pace service demands.

- Set up, stock, and break down your station so it’s organized and service-ready
- Manage multiple tickets and execute dishes with the right timing and sequence
- Monitor seasoning, temperature, texture, and portioning on every plate
- Communicate clearly with the team about orders, modifications, shortages, and quality concerns
- Follow food safety, sanitation, storage, labeling, and allergen protocols
- Support other stations and the culinary team during busy service
What You Bring
- Experience working a station in a professional kitchen; fine dining experience preferred
- Solid cooking fundamentals: knife skills, mise en place, seasoning, and plating
- Ability to follow recipes and standards accurately, every time
- Calm, efficient work under pressure without cutting corners on quality or safety
- Strong organization, reliability, and attention to detail
- A team-first attitude and appreciation for Mexican culinary traditions
- Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays
- Food Handler’s certification as required

Part of Casamata
This fall, chef Enrique Olvera opens Bar Cosme, an elegant destination for exceptional drinks and small bites in the NoHo corner space previously occupied for nearly a decade by ATLA, his beloved all-day Mexican restaurant. The sexy, minimalist interiors, conceived by Mexico City design firm JSa in a complete reimagining of the space, evoke the easy sophistication of its Flatiron sibling Cosme, setting the stage for a refined night out downtown. Classic and spirit-forward cocktails form the heart of the drinks menu, along with an exclusive lineup of agave distillates, thoughtful wine selections and housemade, N/A aguas. All are served from the centerpiece of Bar Cosme, a polished concrete dining bar outfitted with a comal for cooking seafood and other fare from Olvera’s menu.
