This venue is the group's flagship restaurant, sitting on one of Sydney's most celebrated dining strips. It's a concept with genuine identity, a loyal local following, and the kind of standards that have made it a neighbourhood staple. The wider group operates several premium dining concepts across Sydney with a forthcoming precinct on the horizon. It's a group going places, and this venue is one of its cornerstones.
This is a role for someone who loves hospitality in the truest sense. The Surry Hills dining crowd is food-literate, loyalty-driven, and expects the best of the best. You need to walk in every service and light the room up, then do it again tomorrow.
