Job description

Salary ($66k - $70k)

Legacy Records is operated by Delicious Hospitality Group, known for downtown restaurants Charlie Bird and Pasquale Jones. Based in New York City under the helm of Chef Ryan Hardy, Legacy Records focuses on creating memorable hospitality experiences featuring an inventive culinary style and an extraordinary wine program.

Legacy Records is an upscale dining restaurant with an all-day cafe (Easy Victor), cocktail bar (Ada's Place), a gorgeous dining room on the ground floor, two dedicated private dining rooms on the second floor (serviced by their own kitchen), and a bakery producing some of the finest bread, pastries, and gelatos in New York City.

The menu is inspired by New York’s farmer's markets, Long Island fishing boats, country fields, and the passions of travelers with refined palates. We excel in seafood, roasted meats, exceptional wines, and creamy espresso.

Our wine list is extensive, allowing guests to enjoy wine every night or indulge in rare selections unavailable elsewhere in the world.

Our team’s background is diverse; while many hail from top dining establishments worldwide, our goal is to be your favorite neighborhood spot.
