Server

Place des Fêtes is seeking experienced, thoughtful, and passionate Servers to join our team in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

Place des Fêtes is a wine bar and restaurant from Redwood Hospitality, the team behind Michelin-starred Oxalis, Cafe Mado, Golden Ratio, and Laurel Bakery. Recognized as one of The New York Times’ 100 Best Restaurants in New York City in 2025, Place des Fêtes serves ingredient-driven food centered around sustainable seafood and locally sourced produce, alongside a distinctive and evolving selection of natural wines.

We are looking for Servers who see hospitality as a craft and want to contribute to the continued growth of an ambitious restaurant. Our goal is to build a dining room capable of delivering Michelin-level hospitality: warm and personal, but also precise, knowledgeable, consistent, and deeply attentive to the details of each guest’s experience.

The Role

Our Servers are expected to create genuine connections with guests while confidently guiding them through the food and wine programs. The right candidate is curious, engaged, organized, and able to balance warmth with strong technical service.

Responsibilities include:

• Providing attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming service

• Guiding guests through the menu and helping them build a thoughtful, balanced experience

• Speaking confidently about ingredients, preparations, sustainable seafood, and seasonal produce

• Learning and communicating an evolving natural-wine program

• Maintaining strong awareness of pacing, table maintenance, allergies, special occasions, and guest preferences

• Working closely with captains, managers, the kitchen, and the beverage team throughout service

• Following detailed steps of service while remaining natural and responsive with guests

• Arriving prepared, participating actively in pre-shift education, and contributing positively to the team

• Taking ownership of mistakes, responding well to feedback, and continually working to improve

What We’re Looking For

• At least two years of serving experience in a restaurant or wine bar, or a strong professional background in wine and beverage

• Genuine enthusiasm for hospitality, food, and wine

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to consistent standards

• The ability to remain composed, organized, and communicative during busy services

• Curiosity about natural wine, sustainable seafood, and ingredient-driven cooking

• A collaborative mindset and an understanding that excellent service depends on supporting the entire team

• A desire to learn, accept coaching, and grow within an ambitious restaurant environment

Natural-wine knowledge is strongly preferred, but we are also interested in candidates with a solid foundation, real curiosity, and the commitment to develop.

Growth and Benefits

Our culture is built around staff engagement, education, and professional development. Team members have opportunities to deepen their food and wine knowledge, take on greater service responsibility, and grow into captain, beverage, training, or management roles as their skills develop.

As part of Redwood Hospitality, employees may also have opportunities to learn from and grow across a group that includes different styles of restaurants, bars, and hospitality programs.

Benefits include:

• Health insurance eligibility after 90 days for full-time employees averaging 30 or more hours per week

• Ongoing food, wine, and service education

• Opportunities for advancement within Place des Fêtes and Redwood Hospitality

• Staff dining benefits across the restaurant group

• A collaborative environment with direct access to experienced culinary, beverage, and hospitality leaders

We are especially interested in people who care deeply about their work and want to help build something meaningful. This is an opportunity to join a restaurant with high aspirations, contribute to its evolution, and help us work toward the level of food, wine, service, and consistency required to earn a Michelin star.
