The line cook is responsible for the preparation of high-quality food in a timely, effective, sanitary, and consistent manner.

Moliar Hospitality Group is a locally owned and operated food and beverage organization that focuses on enriching the lives of our guests, our employees, and owners. We do this through superior quality food and beverages, customer service, sales growth, cost, and treating our employees like family. We believe that our employees are our most important resource, and our success depends upon creating and retaining a staff capable of delivering an exceptional dining experience to every customer, every time. We currently own and operate 5 successful establishments: Calypso Bar and Grill, Repeal Bourbon and Burgers, 3 Hair of the Dog Eatery’s (Downtown Granby, Hampton BLVD across from ODU and Loehmann’s Plaza in Virginia Beach) Offering an eclectic twist on good ole southern home cooking with focus on local ingredients. We opened the first Hair of the Dog in Virginia Beach on the boulevard with excitement to bring something new and fresh to the scene. We've been met with great enthusiasm since our first opening several years ago in Virginia Beach and thought expanding to Norfolk, specifically the ODU area made perfect sense. From day one, we've prided ourselves on offering a modern and eclectic spin on Southern breakfast and comfort foods, with our full made from scratch menu offered all day, to go along with our extensive craft beer list and our creative spin on traditional cocktails like Bloody Marys' and Mimosas. We are proud of the kitchens we run and of the service staff whose primary goal is to provide you with the very best experience, every single time you walk in the door.
