April Bloomfield’s Texas Restaurant Group May Take Over NYC Hotel Restaurants in Nine Orchard | Eater NY
"Opened in 2022 as the flagship lobby restaurant on the Lower East Side with chef Ignacio Mattos—known for Estela, the more-casual Altro Paradiso, and Rock Center Italian Lodi—at the helm, this restaurant drew immediate buzz and received a two-star New York Times review for its white-tablecloth take on downtown dining. Former Eater critic Ryan Sutton called it "the next great steakhouse." Less than two years later, Mattos parted ways with the hotel and the restaurant lost its buzzy namecheck leadership." - Melissa McCart
