About the Role

As a Server, you'll be the primary point of contact for guests seated in our dining room, working in close coordination with our sushi chefs and sake sommelier to guide guests through a multi-course tasting menu and pairing experience.

This is a high-touch, detail-driven role suited to someone who thrives in a refined, quiet-luxury environment and takes pride in anticipating guest needs before they're spoken.

Responsibilities

• Guide guests through a structured, multi-course omakase experience with confidence, pacing, and polish
• Present and describe each course with clarity and enthusiasm
• Anticipate guest needs and maintain a high level of attentiveness without being intrusive
• Coordinate closely with sushi chefs, kitchen, and sake sommelier to ensure precise timing between courses
• Maintain deep familiarity with the menu, ingredients, preparation methods, and any dietary accommodations
• Uphold a calm, professional, and warm demeanor even during high-pressure service
• Support the overall ambiance and standards of a fine dining environment, including table maintenance, silent service techniques, and proper etiquette
• Continually build product knowledge, including participating in ongoing sake and menu trainings

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in upscale fine dining service required
• Experience with tasting menus, wine/sake pairings, or prix fixe formats strongly preferred
• Japanese cuisine experience is a plus but not required
• Sake knowledge is strongly preferred, with genuine interest in continuing to build expertise
• Exceptional communication and guest service skills
• A refined hospitality mindset — poised, attentive, and professional under pressure
• Strong memory and attention to detail (multi-course sequencing, allergy/dietary tracking, pairing notes)
• Ability to work efficiently as part of a tight-knit, high-performing team
• Flexible schedule, including evenings, and weekends
