Weekend Michelin Inspector Jobs in Miami, FL (NOW HIRING)

Pauline, at 1801 Collins Avenue, is Miami’s newest coastal dining destination. Led by Culinary Director Abram Bissell—a Florida Keys native with Michelin-starred experience—the restaurant is a love letter to South Florida’s seafood and the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean and Latin America.
The menu highlights the ocean’s best: Jonah Crab Claws, Conch Ceviche, and Key West Pink Shrimp at the raw bar; Rock Shrimp Fideos and a Caviar Tostada among small plates; and entrées like Lobster & Mussel Sancocho and Turbot Encendido. Everything is prepared without seed oils for a cleaner, more balanced experience.
Named for Pauline Baker, wife and muse of writer Charles H. Baker Jr., the restaurant reflects the couple’s spirit of travel, discovery, and Deco-era Miami.
