Now Hiring: Sommelier | $35–$55/hr | West Midtown, Atlanta

Are you a wine whisperer with a passion for exceptional service and unforgettable dining experiences? Do you dream in tasting notes and pairings? If so, we want you to bring your expertise and personality to our intimate, omakase-style fine dining restaurant in the heart of West Midtown.

We’re a tasting menu-only concept with a deep respect for tradition and a flair for the modern, just like our ideal sommelier. This role is about more than just pouring wine. You’ll collaborate directly with our talented sushi chefs, lead an elevated beverage program, and create those rare, magical pairings that make our guests say wow.

What You'll Do:

• Curate and oversee our wine and beverage program, including Sake and unique finds
• Greet and engage guests with warmth, hospitality, and confidence
• Pair wines and beverages with a seasonal, chef-driven tasting menu
• Collaborate closely with the sushi chef team to execute seamless service
• Monitor and manage inventory and beverage costs like a pro
• Train and mentor service staff on beverage offerings and pairing techniques

What You Bring to the Table:

3+ years of experience as a sommelier in upscale or fine dining environments

Deep wine knowledge—bonus if you know your way around Sake!

Sushi or omakase experience is a plus, but passion and curiosity go a long way

Excellent communication skills (English required; other languages a plus!)

Strong organizational and tech skills—Microsoft Office & Google Suite know-how

Food Handler’s Permit and ServeSafe certified (or willing to get certified)

A polished, professional presence and a collaborative, guest-first attitude

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to bend, twist, climb, and move comfortably in tight spaces
• Must be able to stand for long shifts and lift/move up to 50 lbs solo

If you're ready to join a passionate, tight-knit team delivering truly memorable experiences—and you know the perfect sake to pair with otoro—then let's raise a glass to your next great adventure.
