Dining Room Server
About The Position
The Chatham Inn, Cape Cod’s only Relais & Châteaux and Forbes Five-Star hotel, is a luxurious boutique hotel with 18 guest rooms that blends the soul of a historic inn with modern decor and amenities, along with Cuvee, our fine dining restaurant and wine bar. Cuvée Bistro at The Chatham Inn is evolving into a relaxed, approachable coastal bistro with Mediterranean and French influences. We are moving away from a traditional fine-dining model toward something more vibrant, welcoming, and community-driven — while maintaining the polish and standards expected of a Relais & Châteaux and Forbes-recognized property. The Dining Room Server plays a central role in creating this experience. This is not stiff fine dining. This is confident, knowledgeable, warm hospitality. We are looking for individuals who understand that luxury today is about authenticity, comfort, and connection — not formality.
