Sous Chef - New Opening | Classic Steakhouse with Character JRM Hospitality Recruitment are partnering on the launch of a new restaurant that leans into the romance of old-world dining - dim lights, live music, sharp service, and food that speaks through precision rather than noise. This is a 150-seat steakhouse built on timeless foundations: premium cuts, classic technique, and a kitchen that values discipline, detail, and consistency above all else. The Concept Think European brasserie meets New York steakhouse. A room with energy, weight, and intent - where the kitchen operates with quiet confidence and every plate is deliberate.
