Maitre D'

**Cobi’s** is building a team of inclusive, energized, forward thinking, and hospitality driven professionals in an effort to share our tastes and memories of Southeast Asia. Our mission is to curate a dining experience that uniquely bridges Southeast Asian flavors and comfort foods with a community driven social dining atmosphere where our food, beverage selection, and decor set the stage for fun, accessible, and memorable meals.

Our love for hospitality starts at home; with our staff. We are dedicated to developing our team into becoming industry leaders. We do this by listening. We do this by teaching. We do this by sharing our love for the cuisine, the joys of the dining experience, and we do this by building a community. We strive to be socially responsible and sustainable in our choices and practices as we push to create a balanced progressive work environment.

At Cobi’s we want our staff to be as excited about being here as our guests are. We want to see proud smiles ready to roll up their sleeves and work together as we humbly extend our home to the public as we redefine the Santa Monica food landscape.
