Description



Run by Artfarm, the restaurant surrounds diners with commissioned installations, including a custom mosaic table by Rashid Johnson and a monumental wall drawing by Pat. The rest of the walls double as a gallery where artworks are available for purchase. The kitchen turns out a produce-driven menu featuring dishes like trout with morels and fresh soft shell crab, though the most widely praised item is a simple biscuit starter served with sweet, melty butter.
