Full Job Description

Lead Host For an Ambitious Elevated Mexican Restaurant

About Us

Maria Isabel is a Mexican restaurant rooted in heritage, craft, and community. Our cooking draws from the regional traditions of Mexico, shaped by memory, season, and place, and expressed through the lens of Northern California’s produce and purveyors. The food is soulful and generous, guided by time-honored techniques, vibrant flavors, and a deep respect for where everything comes from.

Our approach to hospitality mirrors the kitchen. It’s warm, human, and intentional. We believe restaurants are built by people first, and that the best work happens when a team grows together, sharing knowledge, responsibility, and pride in what we create for our guests.

We’re currently building our opening team. This is a chance to be part of something from the beginning, to help shape the culture, the standards, and the voice of the restaurant alongside a team that values mentorship and long-term growth.

The right person is organized, composed, and naturally hospitable. You know how to read a room, manage a book, and welcome guests in a way that feels genuine and effortless. You take pride in details, communicate clearly with the team, and understand how thoughtful pacing shapes the entire experience.

Experience in a fine dining environment is a plus, but what matters most is your sense of care, humility, and kindness. You lead with intention, support your team, and hold a high standard for how we show up every day.

We are primarily looking for full evening availability. Our hours are Tuesday through Saturday in the evening, though we welcome all availability to apply.
