**Who we are**

Modern cuisine with Southern flair… Tastefully creative... Revival tastefully merges traditional local heirloom ingredients with modern concepts and delicious execution. A true fusion of old school and new school. Working with local farmers to “revive” seasonal, indigenous ingredients has injected a unique spin on our menu and is a nod to our fair city.

The Vendue is not traditional in its aesthetic, vibe or the way we serve our guests. Neither is this position. We’re here to shake things up to bring our guest experience to the next level–with some flair, and a touch of showmanship. You'll have everything you need to shine - great location? Check. An epic rooftop bar? Best in the city 200+ piece curated art collection? Yup, but we don't want to brag. We could go on. But we are missing one thing - YOU. What level of creativity, fun, beauty, and inspiration can you bring to the team? Can you match our moxie? We'd love to find out. To learn more, visit thevendue.com.
