The Chef de Partie will work closely with the Chef and senior kitchen team in the preparation and execution of our menu. This position requires strong fundamentals, attention to detail, organization, consistency, and the ability to perform at a high level during service.

What We’re Looking For
- Previous experience working in a professional kitchen
- Fine-dining experience is strongly preferred
- Strong fundamental cooking skills and attention to detail




- A genuine interest in food, ingredients, technique, and continued learning
- Ability to work cleanly, efficiently, and with a strong sense of organization
- Comfortable working in a rapid-paced and demanding service environment
- Reliable, punctual, and accountable
- Ability to take direction while also working independently
- Strong communication skills and a team-oriented attitude
- Someone who takes pride in their work and understands that consistency matters as much as creativity

We are particularly interested in cooks who are curious — people who want to understand not only how something is prepared, but why it is prepared that way.
