We are looking for an experienced cook to fill a vacant spot in our kitchen staff and contribute to the overall excellence of our restaurant.

The person we are hoping to employ is first and foremost a skilled, organized, and creative cook. We are looking for someone who is reliable and willing to work as a team player. In addition to cooking prowess, great communication and organizational skills are paramount.

A good candidate for this job is a person with attention to detail who can keep the kitchen tidy and clean all while preparing, cooking, and arranging food together with the rest of our kitchen staff. We pride ourselves in our exceptional service, and we expect nothing less from our cooks.

Our kitchen has multiple stations. We have a Cold or Pantry station, Fry station. Flattop and Grill, and Saute. Our flattop is a Plancha, which cooks at temperatures significantly higher than a normal grill. This allows us to get a hard sear, but also means it requires more skill. We are looking for someone that can be trained on multiple stations, but would consider someone who can be very proficient in any station.

Our menu is a modern, fun, exciting take on seafood. We say we bring the WestCoast to the Midwest. We are not only seafood though. We just like to incorporate as many ingredients from the ocean and the coasts as possible, while still bringing in local proteins, and local seasonal produce. Yellowbelly is not a white tablecloth type of 'fine dining', but we are definitely a high-end restaurant. Along with our modern American food, we have award-winning cocktails, wine and beer.
