Executive Chef

Our upscale American Chophouse is a premier dining establishment dedicated to offering an exceptional culinary experience centered around premium steaks, fresh seafood, and seasonal ingredients. Known for its warm hospitality, elegant ambiance, and commitment to excellence, our restaurant has quickly become a favored destination for discerning diners seeking both classic and innovative American cuisine. The chophouse prides itself on its deep ties to the local community, partnering with regional farmers, ranchers, and purveyors to provide the freshest, highest-quality ingredients. This approach not only elevates the guest experience but also supports sustainable and local food systems. As a full-time position, the Executive Chef role comes with a competitive salary range of $95,000 to $120,000 per year, reflecting the importance and responsibility of this leadership position within our team.

The Executive Chef plays a critical role in shaping the identity and success of our chophouse. This position requires a dynamic, creative, and experienced culinary leader who understands that a modern chophouse goes beyond serving exceptional steaks — it embodies precision, energy, hospitality, and flawless execution. The Executive Chef is responsible for overseeing all culinary operations, including menu development, team management, financial performance, and ensuring an unparalleled dining experience for every guest. Collaboration is key, as this role works closely with Front of House management to deliver seamless service and coordinate special events such as wine dinners, tasting events, and private dining experiences.

Moreover, the Executive Chef will extend their leadership to a nearby sister hotel property, managing and aligning food and beverage services across both locations for consistent quality and premium presentation. This multi-property responsibility demands strong operational skills, strategic thinking, and a passion for innovation and community engagement. Beyond culinary skills, the successful candidate will be a charismatic leader who motivates and develops a high-performing team, fosters a culture of accountability and creativity, and remains calm and decisive under pressure.

The Executive Chef will also be the steward of financial stewardship by managing food costs, labor, purchasing, vendor relations, and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. The role is designed for an individual who is not only passionate about food but also about creating a vibrant gathering place where impeccable food, warm hospitality, and community connections thrive. This opportunity allows an ambitious culinary professional to establish themselves as a destination chef in our market, driving innovation while honoring traditional chophouse values. If you are a visionary yet disciplined leader with expertise in steakhouse dining, a knack for team development, and a dedication to hospitality excellence, this role offers a unique and rewarding career path within a supportive, community-minded environment.
