About Us
Fence & Post is a small, independent restaurant rooted in honest, from-scratch cooking. From naturally leavened sourdough and house-cured meats to hand-churned ice cream and refined à la carte dishes, we take pride in doing things the right way — with care, precision, and respect for ingredients.
We work closely with local producers, and we’re passionate about delivering thoughtful food and warm hospitality in a relaxed fine dining setting. Our kitchen is collaborative, technique-driven, and grounded in continual learning.
We’re currently looking for a Chef de Partie who shares our values and is eager to contribute to a professional, detail-focused kitchen.

- Properly label, store, and rotate ingredients and mise en place
- Support inventory and communicate prep and ordering needs

- Calm, focused presence during busy service
- Solid understanding of food safety and sanitation standards
- Clear communicator and strong team player
- Physical stamina and comfort working on your feet for long periods
