About The Position

The View has reopened as a newly reimagined upscale dining destination housed within the New York Marriot Marquis. New York City’s only revolving restaurant, bar, and lounge, The View has undergone a complete renovation by Rockwell Group to evoke the vibrant nightlife of historic New York, drawing inspiration from classic American supper clubs. Spanning the 47th and 48th floors, The View will provide two unique guest experiences: an upper-level bar and lounge complete with a raw-bar, and a full-service restaurant on the lower level featuring live music nightly. The culinary and bar offerings will highlight American classics with a theatrical twist, reflecting the character of the surrounding area. Designed to be a vibrant escape from the hustle of Times Square, The View is excited to welcome both New Yorkers and visitors. An integral member of the restaurant’s Service team, the Sommelier is responsible for providing our guests with a memorable wine experience and ensuring the excellence and creativity of the beverage program. The Sommelier is a trusted partner to fellow sommeliers, bartenders, and service staff and acts as an extension of the Beverage Director, aiding in service and operation of the wine and beverage program.
