Host | Hostess at Upland

Job Description

Built around a California-inspired culinary philosophy that takes heavy cues from the seasons, Upland, by restaurateur Stephen Starr, balances a familiar rusticity with a smart global approach, all enhanced with a New Yorker’s eye for detail. Handsome natural wood and lush leather lend sophisticated substance to Upland’s brasserie-esque environment, dynamic yet intimate from the bar through to the dining room. The menu offers an artful array of starters, entrees and sides, each plate accented with an enticing and urbane touch. The wine program matches the excitement coming out of Upland’s open kitchen, with a worldly list and a clever by-the-glass selection that’s remarkably food-friendly.
