Become an employee owner (and have some fun, too!)

Inside an historic 1871 gatehouse perched over the Seekonk River, the Waterman Grille presents a vibrant culinary experience on Providence’s East Side. With its ageless brick texture, restored wood patinas and open kitchen, the dining ambiance is welcoming and authentic. A comfy setting for friends, family, and colleagues to share a casual, crafted meal from the talented hands of Executive Chef Jennifer Backman and her team. Our cooking philosophy is inspired by the seasons, emphasizing fresh, local ingredients, with lively flavors and technique emboldened by the embers of our wood-fired grill. Waterman Grille is more unique for its appropriateness to host private events. Within its nooks and crannies, several private event rooms are revealed, making ourselves a destination for special events, large or small.

We’re proud to have one the strongest, friendliest hospitality staffs in New England. Our common goal is to make people happy through great food, great locations and great teamwork. If you feel the same, we want to hear from you.

Ruth at Food Love Market
When we asked Ruth what she loves most about the Newport Restaurant Group and being an employee-owner she shared, "everyone is so easy to work with, it's like a big family."
Ruth Henderson Grocery Clerk
I like working for NRG because of the management team, and the professionalism. Plus, all of the great perks being an employee-owned company.

Tobey Sanborn
NRG is special because we don’t have company leadership making every decision. Most decision making still lives in the individual businesses that we own. Creative ideas and that spirit drives exciting offerings to our guests. We own the decisions, the results, and the pride.
Tobey Sanborn Director of Training
My opinion matters. I am very lucky to have a support system that trusts my decision making. I love having support from my peers and being able to learn and grow. I also love having the freedom to make decisions within my business unit. It empowers me to keep being better!
Christine Coogan General Manager
When we asked what he loves about Newport Restaurant Group and being an employee-owner, Andy shared "the sense of teamwork and pride in everyone's work!”
Andy Stanne Bartender

What is employee ownership?

Once you’ve become a part of our team, you begin earning shares in our company. That means that we invest real dollars on your behalf, and ultimately the company’s profits are divided among our employees. Year in and year out, the better our restaurants do, the more return you see for your own hard work.
