Bernadette is the second restaurant from husband-and-wife team Aaron and Shanna Chambers, located in the heart of historic Salem. With a French-inspired, market-driven menu, we bring city-level dining to the North Shore—perfect for those looking to hone their craft without commuting to Boston. Bernadette embodies a neighborhood bistro vibe, with a refined yet approachable French cuisine that celebrates the local terroir and a service experience inspired by intimate dinner parties with close friends. Chef Aaron Chambers, who has trained under some of the world’s finest chefs such as Daniel Boulud and Raymond Blanc, leads the culinary vision.
Positions: We are hiring for all kitchen positions, including sous chef, assistant pastry chef, and line cooks. Competitive salaries, growth opportunities in a supportive environment, and a chance to shape a new, exciting restaurant in Salem’s vibrant dining scene. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with Chef Aaron in a teaching kitchen, where every day is about learning and growth. Chef Aaron’s years of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens, combined with his dedication to nurturing talent, make Bernadette a place where you can develop your skills at the highest level, without the commute to Boston.
We’re looking for team members who approach their work with care and passion, bringing warmth and dedication to every guest interaction. While previous experience with French cuisine is a plus, it’s not required. What matters most is a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to maintaining high standards of service.
