One Bryant Park opens with chefs from Michelin-starred kitchens behind its counters
Eater's opening list gives the chefs' track records and what each room serves.
One Bryant Park, about 10,000 square feet in the former Aureole space in the Bank of America Tower, opened its namesake 150-seat Japanese restaurant, led by chefs Tadaaki Ishizaki (formerly culinary director of two-star Odo) and Shuji Furukawa (Restaurant Yuu), and the 14-seat Kumiko Room omakase counter with Yoshihiko Kousaka on Thursday, October 15. A third room, a 10-seat kaiseki counter from Chikara Sono, opens in mid-November. Eater's same weekly list notes Daniel Humm's a la carte Humm opened in the West Village on October 10.
Signal CheckOpening week, so no verdict yet
How much is substance, and how much is paid or hype?
Eater's list reports openings, not reviews: the restaurant and its omakase counter opened on October 15. The chefs' records at Michelin-starred kitchens are real practitioner credentials, but this room hasn't had the three-plus weeks we like to see before calling it a sure thing.
