Rooftop dining with automated pergola and creative desserts
"The downtown dining destination on the 15th floor of the Nines Hotel has unveiled a new east deck rooftop that includes an automated pergola, fans, and ceiling heaters, allowing guests to dine al fresco in rain or shine." - Janey Wong
"I saw pastry chef Erin Koroll, in collaboration with chef Gregory Gourdet at Departure, build a dessert program that was intentionally integral to the dining experience rather than an afterthought; each dessert has many dimensions and surprises, and the guava mousse with coconut ice is a standout example of that layered, surprising approach." - Eater Staff
"One of the most fun things I've done was going to Departure after a show with comics and chefs; eating late-night desserts up in the sky while chefs order the whole menu was amazing, and as a big Gregory Gourdet fan I loved everything he was doing there." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Housed in the downtown hotel, this restaurant will reopen to the public on August 13 with indoor and rooftop patio dining available, and is taking reservations for reopening service." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"As Departure’s culinary director and a Top Chef favorite, Gregory Gourdet is still fine-tuning his next restaurant, Kann, which he plans to open next year, linking Departure to his evolving culinary projects." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
