'Provencal-Inspired' laV Now Hiring All Positions

laV, the French and Mediterranean-influenced restaurant that is one of Eater's most anticipated fall openings, is now hiring for 40 front- and back-of-the-house positions, including at Maître d' (oh la la). The restaurant is the brainchild of chef Allison Jenkins and managing partner and sommelier Vilma Mazaite. Jenkins was previously the executive chef at The Little Nell's restaurant in Aspen, and Mazaite's resume includes Mario Batalli and Joseph Bastianich's Babbo in New York. Jenkins has been offering a taste of the restaurant's possibilities at her acclaimed trailer Say LaV.

When Eater last spoke with the team, they predicted a December or early winter opening. A rep for the restaurant says due to construction, they cannot be more specific, but "employees can expect to be working in some capacity in December." The full press release is below.
