Service Manager - Uberto Restaurant at Quercus

Quercus is a luxury destination hotel and culinary experience set on 4,000 acres in Gay, Georgia. As the only Relais & Châteaux property in the state, Quercus offers an intimate, all-inclusive stay centered on exceptional service, nature, seasonal cuisine, and a deep sense of place.

The property features just four private cabins, allowing for a highly personalized guest experience that blends refined hospitality with curated outdoor activities, wellness offerings, and thoughtful hotel service. At the heart of the property is Uberto, Quercus’s restaurant where guests enjoy an elevated tasting menu experience led by Michelin starred chef Ryan Smith.

Uberto’s service style is warm, polished, and detail-oriented, designed to complement a dynamic culinary program rooted in seasonality, craft, and storytelling. Team members in the restaurant play an important role not only in the dining experience, but also in the broader hospitality operations of the property, helping create seamless and memorable stays for each guest.

At Quercus and Uberto, we are committed to thoughtful hospitality, attention to detail, and creating meaningful experiences that feel personal, generous, and deeply connected to the land.

Uberto Restaurant at Quercus is seeking a warm, highly organized, and detail-oriented Service Manager to help lead our tasting menu experience.
