Steward [Hypsi]

Hypsi Steward · Full Time

Hypsi, the signature restaurant at the newHotel Daphne, located in the heart of Houston Heights has opened its doors, and we're building a passionate, hospitality-driven team to bring it to life.

Italian-inspired with a Houston spirit, Hypsi will launch with dinner service and expand into breakfast and lunch soon after. The menu will spotlight a robust pasta program and elegant yet approachable entrées. A signature roaming mozzarella cart will serve hand-pulled cheeses with curated add-ons like pickled vegetables, aged vinegars, and cold-pressed olive oil.
