JOB DESCRIPTION

Sunnys is the highly anticipated restaurant and bar from the team behind Miamis award-winning Jaguar Sun and Sunnys Someday Steakhouse residency at Lot 6. Located in Littler River, Sunnys Someday Steakhouse began as Jaguar Suns response to the pandemic and quickly became one of Miamis hottest reservations. The residency scored a coveted Best Restaurant in America accolade from Bon Appetit, Robb Report's "Best New Restaurant" and Conde Nast's "Best Restaurants in the World". Following two years of construction, the development of a substantial kitchen, and the addition of a roofed dining room, it has come back in its final form as Sunnys. In addition to world class food and beverage, Sunnys delivers a nightly dinner party that needs to be felt to be believed.

The Sunnys food menu boasts raw bar selections, wood-fired proteins, and steakhouse classics, alongside hand-made pastas and salads. On the beverage side, the team has created a substantial wine list spanning the traditional to the more adventurous and obscure. Sunny's will also be pouring classic and house cocktails, in addition to two brand new cocktail menus: a pick-your-path martini menu and a zero-proof drinks menu. The design of Sunnys is a modern interpretation of the white table-clothed steakhouse, with a light-filled 76-seat indoor dining space, private dining room, U-shaped dining bar, and expansive, 3,000 square-foot, Banyan-Tree-canopied patio with outdoor seating.

The Bartender position is responsible to ensuring that our guests have a memorable experience at Sunnys. The Bartender is responsible for guiding guests through our menus and curating an unforgettable experience with intentional hospitality. Ideal candidates have a strong service background, are knowledgeable about classic cocktails, have a committed work ethic, and are comfortable working with a team. Our most successful hires understand that it is possible to take the work more seriously than we take ourselves.

Bartenders at Sunny's are expected to be able to host a nightly dinner party, which means simultaneously keeping up on service bar, taking guests through multi-course dinners, and commanding a deep knowledge of spirits and cocktails, all while keeping the energy in the room as festive as possible.
