Join Cecilia, a chef-owned restaurant celebrated for scratch-made food, impeccable quality, and a vibrant dining experience. From our bustling breakfast program to our beautiful dinner service, we showcase Northwest-inspired cuisine crafted with the finest local ingredients.
We’re seeking enthusiastic and experienced culinary professionals to join our team, people who take pride in every plate and thrive in a high-energy, collaborative kitchen. This is an opportunity to help maintain our high standards, contribute creatively and share our passion for hospitality with the community.
As part of NW Hospitality Group, a local chef-owned restaurant family, you’ll be joining a team dedicated to heartfelt service, thoughtful scratch-made food, and an exciting cocktail program.

What We’re Looking For:
Experience in the Kitchen: You’ve worked in a busy kitchen and are confident on the line. You’re comfortable in a scratch-cooking environment and can keep pace during the rush.
Attention to Detail: Every plate matters. You take pride in consistency, presentation, and making sure every dish lives up to the Amaro’s Table standard.
Positive Attitude: You’re team-focused, solution-oriented, and bring great energy to every shift, even during peak hours.
Willingness to Learn: Whether it’s refining techniques or learning new ones, you’re always ready to grow and improve your craft.
Strong Work Ethic: We value focus, cleanliness, and organization. You show up prepared and ready to deliver, every time.
What You’ll Do:
Cook from Scratch: Prepare and execute menu items according to recipes and brand standards, focusing on flavor, freshness, and consistency.
Keep it Clean: Maintain a clean and organized station, following food safety and sanitation standards throughout every shift.
Support the Team: Help with prep, stock, and service flow. Pitch in where needed to ensure the kitchen runs smoothly.
Focus on Quality: Ensure food is cooked and plated to perfection — even when the kitchen is slammed.
Communicate Effectively: Work closely with other cooks, prep staff, and front-of-house team to deliver a seamless guest experience.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us:
Room to Grow: We’re a growing company with opportunities for advancement. If you’re passionate about the craft and want to move up, we’ll support your journey.
