The Verdict

Vespertine, sleek, ultramodern venture from Jordan Kahn. The restaurant has reopened in April after being closed throughout the pandemic. Designed by renowned architect Eric Owen Moss, the building is a 55-foot tower of undulating glass and curved steel. The only description of this restaurant is that it is a is an experimental experience. The tasting menu integrates elements like scent, sound, and architecture to enhance the dining experience. The dining experience involves moving through various spaces within the building, reflecting the progression of the courses. Vespertine’s food, to put it bluntly, is all over the place. Some courses are fairly tasty, while others are simply unpleasant to consume. Uni as part of a dessert was over the edge.
