We’re incredibly excited for the opportunity to bring new life back into Sonder & Dram, a space that has always meant a lot to the Lewiston community. It’s a beautiful location with a unique atmosphere, and our goal is to honor what made it special while introducing a fresh energy and experience under the DaVinci’s umbrella.

As DaVinci’s celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, this project feels especially meaningful to us. For three decades, the community has supported our restaurant, and we see this as another opportunity to continue investing in Lewiston and creating experiences people can be proud of.

Right now, we’re focused on the early stages and making sure we approach the project thoughtfully and intentionally as we work toward opening sometime this summer. We believe downtown Lewiston continues to build momentum, and we’re excited to play a part in that continued growth.

More than anything, we want this to become a place people feel connected to again. A place for great food, specialty cocktails, hospitality, and memorable nights out. We’re looking forward to sharing more details as plans continue to develop.

In the meantime, be sure to follow both Sonder & Dram and DaVinci’s on Facebook and Instagram for updates, behind-the-scenes progress, hiring announcements, and opening news throughout the summer.

Good afternoon,
We are currently seeking 3 server/bartenders for an urgent assignment beginning this Thursday in Southwest Harbor, ME 04679.

This assignment is expected to last approximately one week. The current pay structure is typically $10/hour plus tips, and because the hotel is currently sold out, they anticipate tip earnings to be quite strong. If needed, there may also be flexibility to increase the hourly rate in order to secure the right candidates.

The hotel is offering accommodations for the duration of the assignment, and team members will have the opportunity to work as many hours as they would like, including overtime shifts if desired.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to earn strong income in a short period of time while working in a beautiful hospitality setting.

Message us for more details!
