Take hold of this rare opportunity to join the team at one of the Hamptons’ most well-established restaurants - as Beverage Manager of Nick and Toni’s!

Nick and Toni’s was founded in 1988, and for 35 years has upheld its reputation as the restaurant of choice for locals and “A -listers” a like. The beverage program is known for classic cocktails with a twist, and a well curated wine list. We are looking for a hospitality professional that is passionate about Beverage, with strong background in Wine and Classic Spirits to take on this leadership opportunity with us!

"It is, in fact, not debatable that Nick & Toni's is the best restaurant on Long Island, a position at the front of the pack that has been hard-earned over a run of almost three decades and counting. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the East Hampton mainstay is that it feels as fresh as it ever has, leaning heavy on seasonally available ingredients and the deft touch of a Chef Joseph Realmuto, who understands the virtue of combining impeccable skill and casual restaurant. And since you asked, yes: that is Paul McCartney over there by the pizza oven." - RESY.com
