Job description

Chef Andrew Carmellini is seeking Server Assistants for his signature restaurant, Café Carmellini at The Fifth Avenue Hotel.

Café Carmellini is the signature restaurant from James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini. Here, Chef Carmellini marks his return to fine dining, distilling his 30-year New York City career into an extraordinary culinary experience. His stylish food marries Italian and French cooking with a classic New York feel and a modern vibe.

Chef Carmellini’s menu draws on many sources of inspiration, from the city he loves to a family history rich with hospitality and a passion for food. The restaurant’s name is a nod to the family coffee importing business, which thrived in Tuscany for 120 years. Some dishes are classics reimagined; others are fresh approaches to dishes he has cooked for many years; still others are new innovations, highlighting the best of each season.

The wine program is curated by Master Sommelier Josh Nadel and features a unique, comprehensive 1,800-bottle wine list from Italy, France, the U.S., and around the globe. The design of Café Carmellini combines the building’s original neoclassical architecture with maximalist style, channeling Old New York elegance and sophistication. Café Carmellini offers a welcoming kitchen, an intimate bar, an extraordinary dining room with two grand sculptural trees, a carefully curated art collection, and balconies for tête-à-tête dining with a view of the action.

Ideal candidates possess:

• A minimum of 2 years of experience in Fine Dining Establishments
• Warm and gracious service approach, and the ability to create stellar guest experiences
• The ability to lift 25+ pounds
• Comfortable speaking in front of a large group
• Open availability and career-driven mindset

Benefits:

We offer medical, dental, and vision benefits from day one for full-time employees, as well as a 401(k), Paid Time Off, Employee Dining Discount, BRi Commuter Benefits, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) for full-time employees, and a Referral Reward Program.

Since 2009, chef Andrew Carmellini, Josh Pickard, and Luke Ostrom have opened a portfolio of restaurants and culinary services across New York City, Detroit, Baltimore, and Nashville, including Locanda Verde, The Dutch, Joe’s Pub, Lafayette, Bar Primi, Leuca, Westlight, and many more.
