- Service Background: A minimum of two years of prior experience in a respected high-volume restaurant, cocktail lounge, or fine dining setting. You must handle a busy section while upholding flawless attention to detail.
- Team Culture: An energetic and optimistic demeanor that fits our lively setting. Reliability, effective collaboration, and maintaining composure during busy periods are essential.
- Food Understanding: The capacity to convey the chef\'s concepts, describe components, and confidently address inquiries about current culinary trends and dietary needs.
Primary Duties: Delivering the Experience
- Provide smooth table service, delivering food and beverages within your section and assisting the broader service team.
- Serve as a menu authority, leading guests through our frequently updated cocktail and wine options with both accuracy and enthusiasm.
