April Bloomfield’s Texas Restaurant Group May Take Over NYC Hotel Restaurants in Nine Orchard | Eater NY

"Bloomfield continues to steer the kitchen at her acclaimed Brooklyn restaurant, which she runs with restaurateur Gabriel Stulman (of Fairfax, Joseph Leonard, and Jeffrey's Grocery); since the announcement of her partnership with the Texas group, the restaurant installed a new executive chef, Skylar Mosca. Eater crowned the restaurant one of the year's best new restaurants in 2024, saying that "it represents the return of chef April Bloomfield to New York and the British-inflected cooking that made her name." In his three-star review for The New York Times, Pete Wells declared that Bloomfield is "cooking the best food she’s ever made." He went on to say that her "understanding of her craft has deepened since the crack-up. She is now one of the most expressive cooks in the city," and that "she’s found flavors nobody else seems to know how to reach." - Melissa McCart
