Known for its dedication to fresh, high-quality seafood dishes crafted with French culinary techniques, Bistro Nautile has built a reputation for providing an exquisite dining experience. The restaurant prides itself on a warm and inviting atmosphere, offering patrons a taste of coastal French cuisine in a casual fine-dining setting. With an emphasis on sustainability and local sourcing, Bistro Nautile elevates traditional seafood dishes with a modern twist, making it a favorite spot among both locals and visitors alike.

We are currently seeking a talented, creative, and experienced kitchen steward and prep cook to join our small but passionate kitchen crew. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment and pays close attention to detail to ensure the smooth production of visually appealing and delicious food. Candidates will work alongside a tight-knit team in a fine-dining kitchen setting where precision, speed, and organization are paramount.

This position offers competitive hourly pay starting at $16 during training and $17 upon starting, with the opportunity to earn an additional $15 to $30 in tip outs per shift. There is also potential for advancement for the right individual who demonstrates commitment and skill. Our kitchen operates primarily during the daytime with some weekend and Sunday night shifts, so candidates must have availability during these times, especially on Sunday nights. At Bistro Nautile, we value innovation, self-motivation, and above all, a strong team spirit. This role requires a calm demeanor in high-volume situations and the ability to work efficiently while moving between different kitchen stations including cold line, hot line, desserts, and dish area.

If you are passionate about seafood, eager to learn, and want to grow within a reputable fine-dining establishment, this is your chance to become an integral part of Bistro Nautile’s culinary team. Join us in creating beautiful, flavorful dishes that delight our guests while advancing your culinary career in a supportive environment.
