A Rare Leadership Opportunity in Denver Dining. We’re looking for an exceptional Managing Partner to bring to life an elevated steakhouse experience in Denver.

• Hire, train, and mentor a top‑tier team of hospitality professionals
• Deliver a consistently unforgettable guest experience that turns first‑time diners into regulars
• Oversee all financials: P&L, labor, inventory, ordering, and cost controls
• Serve as the brand ambassador, building a strong presence in the Denver hospitality community
• Drive revenue through events, outreach, and VIP engagement
• Maintain operational excellence in cleanliness, compliance, and execution

• 5+ years of GM experience in upscale or fine dining restaurants

• Deep understanding of high‑touch service, wine & beverage programs, and team culture
• Strong personal network or ability to build lasting guest relationships
