Cornerstone is seeking an experienced and hospitality-driven Wine Captain / Head Server to play a leadership role in our front-of-house team and wine program.

Founded and operated by chef-owners Christine & Nick Kondra since 2015, Cornerstone has become one of the most sought-after restaurants in the Philadelphia area. Over the past decade, we have built a reputation for exceptional guest experiences paired with an award-winning wine and cocktail program. Recognized regionally and nationally by Wine Spectator, and with Christine Kondra honored as Best Sommelier on the Main Line of Philadelphia, Cornerstone continues to evolve while staying grounded in thoughtful, intentional hospitality.

This role offers a rare opportunity to work closely alongside Christine Kondra and one of the region’s most respected wine programs, featuring a cellar of over 1,200 carefully curated bottles from around the world. The Wine Captain will play an active role in presenting and representing this program to guests, helping translate the depth of the collection into meaningful and memorable dining experiences.

The Wine Captain plays an essential role in this experience. At the Chef’s Counter especially, service becomes a conversation — guiding guests through the evening, presenting wines with context and enthusiasm, and ensuring that every moment feels thoughtful, seamless, and memorable.

This role requires a balance of technical wine knowledge, polished service execution, and natural hospitality leadership. We are seeking someone who takes pride in excellence, values continuous learning, and is energized by the opportunity to elevate every guest interaction.
