In the coming months, owners Syd Younggreen and Brian De Souza will also bring back their intimate dinner series, the Guest, and add a daytime concept called El Mercado.
"I loved being underground, but at some point, you've got to come aboveboard," says Syd Younggreen, who operated a private dining series called the Guest out of the home she shares with her partner, chef Brian De Souza.
The 6,800-square-foot spot, which was last home to Irish pub Maloney's Tavern, had been vacant for several years before Younggreen and De Souza found it. They embarked on an extensive renovation project to transform the old Victorian storefront into a space that's dark and moody, yet with comfortable vibes.
In the kitchen, he adds, that translates to,"When a beautiful fish comes in that just died ten hours ago, it deserves the respect. From the moment it arrives, how you handle it, how you put it in the walk-in, how you label it. Everything, in my opinion, reflects love, care and passion. Without that, we can't cook; we can't do anything."
While other dishes took a more simple approach to plating, they were just as flavorful, including two thick slices of medium-rare duck breast with a deeply caramelized skin over a dollop of richly hued bourbon apple purée and a heaping bowl of silky-smooth potato purée that is a must-order from the list of sides.
The beverage program, headed by general manager and beverage director Bruce Martin Polack, follows suit. The extensive natural and bio-dynamic wine list is heavy on varietals and regions that diners may be unfamiliar with, as is the spirits collection."It's about giving the guest this once-in-a-lifetime experience and introducing them to things they should be drinking," Martin Polack notes.
Walking into El Mercado, diners will see a display of the ingredients being highlighted that evening. From there, they'll be led out one door and through another into an art-filled hallway, then enter the Guest's 22-seat dining room, which has direct access to the kitchen. Meals here will be personally hosted by Younggreen and Martin Polack for an intimate experience that's completely separate from the Regular.
