Experience matters, but so do attitude and sensibility. We value people who approach service as a craft: calm, aware, and exacting. Guest connections are essential here, but always professional, never performative. Our dining room is built on quiet confidence and respect for the guest’s experience.

• Knowledge of sake preferred, but not required
• Ability to calculate and control beverage cost
• Deep respect for pacing, detail, and teamwork
• Wine, sake, and cocktail service knowledge
• Ability to read the room and engage guests with warmth and restraint
• Composure and humility under pressure

If you take pride in craft, value discipline, and want to work in an environment built on respect and standards, we would like to talk to you

Compensation

Competitive hourly + tip share, $25-50/hr based on experience.
