History : The Coronado Club, a distinguished establishment located in Houston, Texas, has a storied history that dates back to its founding in 1923. This historic club was the brainchild of prominent Houstonians who envisioned a sophisticated gathering place where members could socialize, network, and enjoy the finer things in life. In 1956, the modern version of the Club was founded.

The renowned architect Joseph Finger, celebrated for his contributions to the city's architectural landscape, was commissioned to design the Coronado Club's impressive building. His vision resulted in an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly blends Spanish Revival and Mediterranean influences, featuring striking elements such as stucco walls, terracotta roof tiles, and arched doorways. The club's architecture not only pays homage to the rich cultural tapestry of Texas but also stands as a testament to Finger's enduring talent and creativity.

Throughout its illustrious history, the Coronado Club has been a hub for Houston's social elite, providing an exclusive setting for business meetings, elegant dining, and vibrant social events. Its commitment to excellence and timeless charm continue to make it a sought-after destination for those who appreciate the blend of history, architecture, and camaraderie that is inherent within the membership.

Position Specific : Responsible for all food service and production in all kitchen areas. Maintains highest professional food quality and sanitation standards.

Houston is famed for its restaurants, yet even in the center of plentiful fine dining options, the Coronado Club stands out. Overseen by Executive Chef Robert Greene, the kitchen at the Coronado Club crafts menus from bespoke ingredients procured from small farms, including free-range cattle, wild game ranches and family-owned fishing boats that go out to sea at dawn to bring back the freshest catch each day. Hand grown, hand picked, sourced from nature's bounty; meals at the Coronado Club are created to delight and inspire.
