Clover Hill: Dining | New York

This small dining room earned a James Beard Award for Best Chef in New York. The experience was built on trust: guests did not see the menu until the end of the meal, when they received a wax-sealed envelope to take home. Diners could sit at the bar to watch the chefs at work in the dimly lit room, pairing the courses with wine or a sparkling herbal tea. Later chapters under a new chef introduced South American influences and richer flavors to the kitchen's acclaimed menus.
