Restaurant Manager

Del Mar, CA

Full Time, On Site

Compensation: Up to $91,000 annually

About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Restaurant Manager to join our leadership team in Del Mar. This is a high impact role within an extremely busy, high volume fine dining steakhouse environment where standards matter, details matter, and strong leadership on the floor matters every single day.

Our restaurant closed 2025 at nearly $28 million in sales, and the pace is intense. We are looking for a manager who is energized by that level of volume and who understands how to lead with professionalism, urgency, and consistency in a setting that is busy at all times.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who already has a strong foundation in fine dining service and leadership and wants to continue learning at a very high level. We are looking for a candidate who is hungry, loves operations, thrives on the floor, and wants to grow alongside experienced leaders in a demanding and rewarding environment.

We need someone with a polished presentation, strong leadership presence, and the ability to stay composed and effective in controlled chaos.

We need a candidate who loves being present on the floor, enjoys leading from the front, and takes pride in execution.
