Vespertine

MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Two Stars: Excellent cooking

Beginning a new chapter, Chef Jordan Kahn's singular operation emerges from a lengthy hiatus with a renewed creative vision. Situated inside a strikingly futuristic edifice of red steel ("the Waffle"), diners enjoy a tasting menu that is likewise out of the ordinary, moving between floors as the meal progresses. Each dish is visually stunning, with cuisine that is not only daringly inventive (at times downright whimsical), but also marshals finely honed technique and impeccably balanced flavors. as in an artful dish of scallop with passionfruit, ají amarillo, and petals of horseradish tuile, or an "obsidian mirror" of smoked mussel cream with salted plum. The meal ends as strong as it begins, with a mesmerizing dessert that features kaleidoscopic flavors.Together with their sister restaurants, Vespertine works to ensure all ingredients are used in their entirety.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"All of our ingredients are sourced ethically from biodynamic, organic or wild origins; we specifically work with 2 local farms that practice biodynamic farming; all herbs are foraged locally. Wild seafood is sustainably sourced from either indigenous fishing communities or local fishermen; open pasture beef is grass-fed. Our commitment to sustainability also applies to the dining room’s wool carpeting, recycled glassware and wild-harvested ceramic service pieces."
