Harringtons By The Bay

The smoke has certainly changed the view today. With more than 850 active wildfires burning across Canada, the haze has settled over Northern Michigan. Air quality has reached the "Very Unhealthy" category, and our outdoor patio is closed for today.

The good news? Our air-conditioned dining room is open, comfortable, and ready to welcome you for lunch, dinner, or your favorite cocktail.

Come escape the smoke, enjoy a delicious meal, and let us take care of the cooking while we wait for those beautiful West Bay views to return. Reservations are always welcome (231) 421-9393

We look forward to serving you.

There comes a point in every cook's career when you ask yourself, "Is there a better kitchen than this?"

We aren't a breakfast restaurant, so there are no early morning shifts. We aren't open until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m., so you can actually have a life outside of work.

Our menu is diverse enough to keep things interesting without being overwhelming, and our chefs enjoy creating lunch and dinner features that let you use your skills and creativity.

We're looking for line cooks who care about consistency, teamwork, and putting beautiful food on every plate.

What we offer:
• $18-$23/hour, based on experience
• Full-time and part-time opportunities
• Overtime available
• Year-round employment
• No breakfast shifts
• Weekend nights close at 10:00 p.m, 9 p.m. on weeknights, and we open at noon on Sundays.
• One year of line experience preferred

If you're happy where you are, we wish you continued success. But if you've been wondering whether there's a kitchen that's a better fit, let's have a conversation.

️•️ Love helping team members grow, succeed, and crush their goals
•️️ Thrive in a team environment where everyone wins together
•️️ Appreciate that some offices come with views of downtown Traverse City and Grand Traverse West Bay
•️️ Believe food and beverage are among life's great pleasures and should be savored, not rushed
•️️ Understand that dessert first is occasionally the correct life choice
•️️ Want to create experiences and memories...not simply plate a dish and drop it at a table

We're hiring a Restaurant Manager to help lead our team, support our General Manager, and continue building the kind of culture that guests and employees can't wait to come back to.
