Left Bank Santana Row is a classic French-inspired brasserie located in the heart of San Jose's vibrant Santana Row. Known for its lively atmosphere and timeless dishes, Left Bank combines traditional French culinary techniques with a warm and welcoming environment to deliver a high quality dining experience. As a part of Vine Hospitality, the restaurant emphasizes developing its team members through strong culinary standards, collaboration, and a culture of growth and continuous improvement. Left Bank Santana Row’s commitment to hospitality is rooted in teamwork, consistency, and attention to detail. The establishment prides itself on serving guests with love and strives to bring the highest quality food by supporting and coaching its back-of-house (BOH) team on food and beverage standards, policies, procedures, and systems. This ensures that every dish leaving the kitchen exemplifies excellence and consistency.

The available roles are for two Line Cooks at Left Bank Santana Row, focused on different stations within the kitchen: Grill and Sauté. These positions are essential to the smooth operation of the kitchen and require a keen eye for detail, pace, and quality under pressure. The Grill Line Cook will specialize in preparing and cooking proteins and executing dishes during the high volume dinner service with precision and speed. Likewise, the Sauté Line Cook will support morning and daytime service by focusing on sautéed items, sauces, and food preparation. Both roles demand a commitment to maintaining high standards for food safety, sanitation, timing, consistency, and presentation.

In these positions, the Line Cooks are expected to accurately and efficiently cook meats, fish, vegetables, soups, and other hot food products. They are also responsible for preparing and portioning food products before cooking and following all food production programs and procedures. Adhering to health and hygiene standards is crucial, ensuring a safe and clean kitchen environment. The Line Cooks must use kitchen supplies and equipment responsibly to minimize waste, loss, and fraud. Additional duties include the final preparation and plating of dishes with proper garnishing and presenting components for all menu items.

These roles offer an opportunity to work in a high-energy and fast-paced environment while being part of a team committed to culinary excellence and exceptional guest experiences. Left Bank Santana Row values candidates who communicate effectively, follow direction from kitchen leadership, and demonstrate flexibility in work schedules. The positions require the ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 30 pounds. New team members will receive company-sponsored health and welfare plans shortly after joining, along with access to dining discounts and room for career growth within Vine Hospitality. For those passionate about French cuisine and dedicated to professional development, these Line Cook roles provide an excellent opportunity to contribute and thrive within a respected hospitality organization.
