Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

(New) Chef Matt Kerney showed considerable courage when he made the leap from Longman & Eagle to the no-room-for-error realm of $100-plus, nine- and 12-course tasting menus (including all-vegan tastings). Kerney has a flair for turning simple ingredients into elevated compositions, and his signature move is an ever-changing “rice and beans” plate that’s an homage to the ingredients that feed most of the world. The 20-seat dining room is handsome and intimate, decorated by rock ‘n’ roll photography that’s a nod to the neighborhood’s many music venues.
