Keep the fire going.

We’re a team of about thirty-five, cooking over one wood fire. If you like working with your hands and want to learn how to cook with live flame, we’d like to meet you.

Working here

What you can count on.

  • Posted pay

    Every role below lists its pay range. Tips are shared across the whole floor and kitchen and paid out every two weeks.

  • Mondays off

    We’re closed Mondays, so everyone gets the same day off, and nobody closes one night and opens the next morning.

  • Family meal

    A sit-down staff meal before every service, cooked by a different person each day.

  • Health coverage

    Medical, dental and vision for anyone working 30 hours a week or more, starting after 60 days.

  • Time to learn

    Paid training on the fire, a monthly wine and sake class, and a book budget of $300 a year.

  • Room to grow

    Most of our leads started on the line or the floor here. We promote from inside first.

Sous Chef Kitchen · Full-time $72,000 – $80,000 / yr

Run the kitchen alongside the chef: the fire, the line, the ordering and the people. You’ll lead service four nights a week and own our prep and fermentation program.

  • Three or more years as a sous or senior line lead in a scratch kitchen
  • Comfortable teaching, scheduling and ordering
  • Live-fire experience is a plus; we’ll teach you the rest
Hearth Cook Kitchen · Full-time $22 – $25 / hr + tip share

Work the grate: meat, fish and vegetables over almond-wood coals. You’ll learn to build and manage the fire and to cook by feel as much as by timer.

  • Two years on a busy line
  • Steady hands, good knife skills, and you keep a clean station
Pizzaiolo Kitchen · Full or part-time $21 – $24 / hr + tip share

Mix, shape and fire our 72-hour dough. You’ll run the oven during service and turn about 150 pizzas on a Saturday night.

  • Experience with a wood or high-heat oven
  • You care about dough and can talk about hydration without getting bored
Server Dining room · Part-time $18 / hr + tips

Guide guests through a menu that changes every week and a wine list that leans Italian. You’ll taste everything we serve, every week.

  • One year serving in a full-service restaurant
  • Available Friday and Saturday evenings
Bartender Bar · Full or part-time $18 / hr + tips

Run a twelve-seat bar that faces the oven and is full of walk-ins. You’ll help build the seasonal cocktail list and look after our amaro and whisky shelves.

  • Two years behind a busy craft cocktail bar
  • Fast, calm and friendly when every seat is full
Host Front door · Part-time $19 – $20 / hr + tip share

Be the first person guests meet. You’ll run the book and the walk-in list, and pace the room so the kitchen never gets buried.

  • Organized, warm and unflappable
  • No experience needed; we’ll train you
Dishwasher & Porter Kitchen · Full-time $20 – $22 / hr + tip share

Keep the kitchen running and help look after the fire and wood deliveries. It’s the job most of our cooks started in, and we’ll teach you the line if you want to learn.

  • Reliable and able to lift 50 lbs
  • No experience needed
