We're searching for an experienced operator to lead the transformation of an established waterfront restaurant into one of the area's premier dining destinations.

  • Create a culture built on accountability, teamwork, and hospitality.
  • Partner with the culinary team to deliver a fresh, seasonal dining experience.
  • Drive sales while managing labor, food cost, and overall profitability.
  • Improve operational efficiency, guest satisfaction, and team performance.
  • Analyze business results and implement strategies that support long term growth.
  • Ensure exceptional food quality, service, cleanliness, and safety standards every day.


What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years of leadership experience in a high-volume, full-service restaurant.
  • Proven success managing both front and back of house operations.
  • Strong understanding of profit and loss management, budgeting, labor planning, and food cost controls.
  • Experience improving restaurant performance through leadership, coaching, and operational excellence.
  • Appreciation for scratch kitchens, seasonal menus, and elevated casual dining.
  • A leader who enjoys solving problems, building teams, and taking ownership of the business.
  • Stable career history with a track record of delivering results.


What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary
  • Profit sharing potential
  • Paid time off and benefits
  • The opportunity to shape the future of a growing destination restaurant with significant long-term upside


If you're looking for more than your next management job and want the chance to build something you're proud of, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help create a restaurant that guests return to again and again.
