Restaurant Porter

As the core of the kitchen’s operational success, the porter must work with impeccable timing and foresight to organize, sanitize, and clean dirty dishes. These details set the tone of readiness for the entire team. THE CLIFF HOUSE AT PROSPECT BERKSHIRES Prospect is a year-round retreat comprised of 49 modern cabins, a pool house, saunas, a boat launch, and the Cliff House. It is situated on 30 acres along the edges of Prospect Lake in Egremont, in the Berkshire Mountains. Reimagined by a local design team rooted in the community, Prospect will usher in a new era of lakeside recreation and reconnection. The Cliff House offers multiple meal periods, including a morning-to-afternoon menu and an all-day coffee and bar program that culminates in full-service dinners. The menu draws inspiration from modern European café culture and prioritizes sourcing ingredients from local agricultural vendors whenever possible. Prospect Berkshires plans to expand its food and beverage offerings beyond the Cliff House to accommodate events, poolside concessions, and private gatherings.
