About the Job
WE HAVE JUST EXPANDED! BE PART OF THE GROWTH....Kelli, my Queen & I welcome you to Carnivore & The Queen Supper Club. For years we have been dreaming of bringing back this bygone area of nostalgic dining, a contemporary revival of a classic prohibition-era supper club with a casual vibe & approachable classic food. The history of Supper Clubs are independently owned, destination dining & decor reflecting that of the owners style and offerings, thoughtful dishes intended for sharing. Plan to be there for the evening! Carnivore & The Queen's daily menu will reflect our recipes together and this seasons local ingredients from our farmers, fishmongers & ranchers. We aspire to work as hard as our mothers did, and accomplish what both our moms had in common, to gather the family around the dinner table every night, no matter what time it was. We are looking forward to meeting your family and friends as you join us for Supper or Brunch
