Magnolia House is not just a place to eat and drink—it's a destination. We are seeking charismatic, polished, and knowledgeable servers to join our team.

• Service: Prior experience (2+ years) in a well regarded high volume restaurant, cocktail bar or fine dining restaurant. You must be able to manage a busy section while maintaining impeccable attention to detail.
• Culture: A high-energy, positive attitude that matches our vibrant atmosphere. Punctuality, strong teamwork, and the ability to remain polished under pressure are non-negotiable.
• Food Literacy: The ability to communicate the chef’s vision, explain ingredients, and confidently answer questions about current food trends and dietary restrictions.
