DescriptionExecutive Chef — Mable's Restaurant & Patio at the Lodge at Marconi
Marshall, California (Tomales Bay, Marin County)
Job Description
Mable's Restaurant & Patio, located within the newly re-imagined Lodge at Marconi on Tomales Bay, is seeking a driven, creative Executive Chef ready to make their mark on the Northern California food scene.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a restaurant with an extraordinary sense of place — 62 acres of coastal parkland overlooking the bay, surrounded by ranches, oyster farms, and some of California's most inspiring producers. Mable's has already earned attention for its locally sourced, seasonal menus and understated elegance. We are now looking for the next culinary leader to take it to the next level.
The Role
The Executive Chef oversees all culinary operations for Mable's and the Lodge at Marconi, including restaurant service, events, and catering. This position calls for an individual who combines creative ambition with operational discipline — a chef who can build systems and culture while producing food that earns attention well beyond West Marin.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and inspire a small, talented kitchen team to deliver consistently excellent, seasonally driven cuisine.
- Design and execute rotating menus that highlight local produce, seafood, and regional purveyors.
- Oversee all aspects of kitchen operations, including purchasing, inventory, scheduling, cost control, and training.
- Partner closely with the General Manager and corporate leadership to meet financial goals and maintain brand standards.
- Manage culinary support for retreats, weddings, and corporate events alongside daily restaurant service.
- Collaborate with marketing and PR teams on content, messaging, and potential press opportunities.
What We're Looking For
An experienced chef with a clear point of view and the desire to make a name for themselves. Someone who thrives in a dynamic, hands-on environment, brings vision and structure to a developing team, and can balance creativity with consistency.
Why Mable's & the Lodge at Marconi
- A chance to shape the culinary identity of a growing, design-forward property with strong community interest.
- Support from a passionate management team and engaged ownership.
- Access to exceptional regional ingredients — seafood from Tomales Bay, organic produce from West Marin farms, artisanal cheeses, local ranchers, and more.
- A leadership position where your work will be visible, valued, and influential.
