Open Positions at Silk

Pastry Chef

Silk is hiring a Pastry Chef to own our dessert program. You will develop, produce, and execute a menu of house-made desserts that meets the standard our guests expect: refined, consistent, and worth coming back for.

You are responsible for recipe development, daily production, and plating during service. Every dessert that leaves the kitchen should be identical in quality to the one before it. Consistency is not optional here.

You will manage your own ordering and inventory, keep your station organized and compliant, and communicate proactively with the General Manager on costs, sourcing, and menu changes. You will also support special orders and events as the program grows.

We are looking for someone with proven pastry experience in a restaurant or bakery setting, strong time management, and the discipline to execute at a high level without supervision. You take feedback well, you hold your own standards higher than anyone else's, and you show up prepared.

If that describes you, apply. If it does not, this is not the right kitchen for you.

Bartender

Embark on a journey of mixology with Silk as a Bartender, a role that goes beyond just pouring drinks, but conjures up a sensory spectacle in every glass.

As the virtuoso behind the bar, you'll mix and serve a spellbinding array of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Each concoction you craft is not just a drink, but a delightful escape served to our guests at the bar or in our dining room through our attentive wait staff.

More than just a bartender, you're a service-oriented connoisseur, armed with a rich knowledge of the spirits and foods we serve. You understand the art and science of pairing, creating an upscale and unforgettable experience that takes our guests on a gastronomic journey they won't soon forget.

If you have a passion for creating captivating libations and thrive in a dynamic, trend-setting environment, we invite you to step behind the bar at Silk. As our Liquid Sorcerer, you'll have the chance to shake, stir, and pour a little magic into every guest's experience.
