Rochester, NY | Part-Time / Full-Time Opportunities | Upscale Dining, Luxury Hospitality, Nightlife, Events

NOIR Bar & Restaurant and La Vie Nightclub & Rooftop are building a hospitality team that wants to do more than simply serve food and drinks. We want to create an experience.

Our goal is to become one of Rochester's standards for upscale dining, nightlife, exceptional hospitality, and memorable guest experiences. We are looking for confident, energetic, professional servers who understand that great service is about personality, teamwork, attention to detail, and making every guest feel genuinely taken care of.

What We're Looking For

● Warm, engaging, polished, and naturally hospitable

● Comfortable interacting with a diverse upscale clientele

● Confident explaining food, cocktails, wine, and special experiences

● Able to read the table and adjust service style to the guest

● Detail-oriented and organized during high-volume service

● Comfortable working in an energetic restaurant and nightlife environment

● Reliable, professional, punctual, and accountable

● Excited to learn, improve, and contribute to a strong team culture

What the Role Looks Like

● Create exceptional first impressions and memorable guest experiences

● Provide knowledgeable, attentive table service

● Learn menu ingredients, preparation methods, allergens, and flavor profiles

● Learn signature cocktails, spirits, wines, and beverage offerings

● Make thoughtful food and beverage recommendations

● Upsell naturally by enhancing the guest experience rather than simply increasing the check

● Accurately enter orders and communicate with the kitchen and bar

● Maintain table appearance, pre-bus, reset, and support other sections

● Run food and beverages when needed

● Work closely with bartenders, hosts, culinary staff, support staff, and management

● Maintain professional appearance and composure during busy service

The Culture We're Building

NOIR and La Vie operate as one team. There is no "that's not my job" mentality. We want talented people without unnecessary ego - people who communicate, help each other, take pride in the entire guest experience, and contribute to a positive, professional atmosphere.

About NOIR & La Vie

NOIR Bar & Restaurant is an upscale dining and cocktail destination focused on elevated hospitality, bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and memorable experiences.

La Vie Nightclub & Rooftop carries that same hospitality into a higher-energy nightlife, entertainment, VIP, and event environment. Candidates may be placed primarily with NOIR, La Vie, or trained across both concepts based on personality, experience, strengths, and availability.

Ideal Candidates

Previous experience in upscale restaurants, fine dining, high-volume restaurants, cocktail bars, nightclubs, hotels, private events, or luxury hospitality is a plus. Most importantly, bring your personality. We can teach menu knowledge and systems; we are looking for people who genuinely enjoy taking care of guests and being part of a strong team.
