Captain

The Tusk Bar and Brass at The Evelyn Hotel, where timeless grandeur meets modern allure, is seeking experienced Captains. 

Captains are the anchors of the dining room — confident leaders who own their stations and anticipate every guest’s need before it’s spoken. You will manage all aspects of your section with precision, presence, and personality, ensuring a seamless dining experience that balances timing, warmth, and sophistication.

Your role is part tactician, part storyteller, and part conductor — setting the tone for your team and ensuring that each service flows effortlessly from welcome to farewell.

• Own your station — from initial table setup to final guest farewell, maintaining a sense of calm control and accountability throughout service.

• Lead the guest experience by providing insightful menu guidance, narrating dishes, and offering thoughtful recommendations that reflect genuine care and expertise.

• Guide pacing and flow of multi-course service in coordination with the kitchen and sommelier teams.

• Command deep knowledge of food and beverage, particularly wine — confidently discussing regions, varietals, pairings, and cellar selections.

• Collaborate with Sommeliers to elevate the guest experience through pairing suggestions and storytelling that enhances the culinary journey.

• Manage communication with Back Waiters, Runners, and Bar teams to ensure every course is synchronized, precise, and artfully presented.

• Anticipate guest needs with discretion and intuition, ensuring service remains fluid and unobtrusive.

• Maintain immaculate station organization, table maintenance, and mise en place standards reflective of Michelin-level operations.

• Lead by example, setting the tone of professionalism, calm, and excellence for all service team members.

We’re looking for career professionals who thrive in a culture of high performance, mutual respect, and detail.

You should:

• Have 3–5 years of experience in fine dining, luxury hotel, or Michelin-rated environments

• Experience in a 1 Michelin Star or 3 New York Times Star restaurant is highly preferred

• Possess a strong foundation in wine and beverage service, including varietal structure, pairing logic, and table presentation

• Understand that service is choreography — balancing pace, anticipation, and intuition to create memorable guest journeys

• Approach every table as your own — taking ownership for both guest satisfaction and operational precision

• Exhibit exceptional communication, confidence, and emotional intelligence under pressure

• Display impeccable personal presentation, punctuality, and pride in your craft

• Thrive in collaboration while maintaining a clear sense of leadership over your section

• Be part of a team driven by excellence, authenticity, and hospitality at the highest level

• Work alongside industry-leading professionals who value mentorship and career growth

• Enjoy competitive compensation, nightly tip structure, and clear advancement opportunities within a growing hospitality group
