The Joseph Hotel - Nashville

WHERE YOU WORK

The Joseph Nashville, a Luxury Collection Hotel re-imagines the hotel experience. The hotel's modern expression is informed by the city's diverse maker-culture and is as focused on integrating the work of Nashville's artisans, chefs and craftsmen as it is that of its musicians. The Joseph's art program - incorporating both the local works of Tennessee artists and works from one of the world's most renowned art collections - deepens the hotel's offering and roots it firmly in Nashville for guests and visitors alike. Featuring 297 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, as well as 18,000 square feet of event and meeting space, The Joseph will exceed the expectations of varied guests. In addition to impeccable service, The Joseph offers countless chances to enjoy unique and memorable experiences. From the front door to the rooftop, The Joseph is full of opportunities to encounter the unexpected.

Yolan features both an eight and five course tasting menu as well as a more traditional a la carte offering. We focus on contemporary interpretations on classic Italian fare highlighting local, seasonal ingredients and technique driven cuisine. We are looking for career focused cooks, looking to hone their craft and learn the fundamentals of fine dining. We believe all cooks should leave Yolan as highly qualified sous chefs with knowledge of food production, ordering, sanitation practices, team management and kitchen communication.
