Trade Waiters for Bistecca and The Gidley

Sydney-based hospitality group, Liquid & Larder, are searching for wait staff to join the team at The Gidley and/or one-hatted restaurant, Bistecca.

The Gidley, found in Sydney’s CBD on the corner of King and Elizabeth, is an opulent steak house, where fine dining meets semi-respectable displays of gluttony.

Bistecca is an unashamedly Italian restaurant dedicated to Tuscany’s revered cut of steak, bistecca alla Fiorentina. The wine list has been awarded three goblets at the Australian Wine Awards.
