About The Position
We are looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Raw Bar & Garde Manger Cook who is eager to learn and develop in a professional restaurant kitchen. This role handles both raw seafood and ready-to-eat preparations, so meticulous sanitation and prevention of cross-contamination are essential. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys precise work, takes pride in presentation and organization, and wants to build strong cold-station skills alongside an experienced culinary team. Most importantly, we want someone who is meticulous, curious, and willing to learn. We can teach raw-bar techniques to the right candidate, but careful food handling and attention to detail must guide every task. Bring humility, ask questions, take direction, and work toward clean, consistent execution every day.
