"Chef and owner Tom Colicchio is shifting the restaurant from family-style to a la carte as it approaches its 25th anniversary, adding a daily tasting option while maintaining a focus on simple, pared-down, seasonal ingredients. First-course selections include fluke crudo and ricotta agnolotti with peas, favas, and morels; mains range from a rabbit mortadella to roasted cod with razor clams and sea beans. The change responds to the chef’s desire to be more creative and to post-pandemic diners sharing less; chef de cuisine Grayson Altenberg is running the kitchen and beverage director Cheron Cowan oversees the bar and wine program. Prices are still being finalized." - Melissa McCart
