"Mel’s is located in the original John Dory space, co-owned by Ken Friedman, the restaurateur later accused of assault by multiple women." - Ryan Sutton
"A New York City restaurant formerly associated with chef April Bloomfield; the chef contributed a Cocoa Cookie to the Resy Cookie Box." - Lyndsey Matthews
"I note that John Dory Oyster Bar was an ambitious yet casual spot known for oyster pan roasts with uni butter; it closed in 2019, so you can no longer sample those dishes." - Ryan Sutton
"Ryan Jordan, the executive chef of the newly opened and more casual Breslin Burger, had worked alongside Bloomfield at both the Breslin and John Dory, the shuttered seafood restaurant in the hotel." - Bao Ong
"Also situated in the Ace Hotel, this seafood-focused venue retained the chef in an active role after the ownership split, even as the wider restaurant group faced legal and reputational challenges." - Monica Burton
