Elmi, Elliott in at Rittenhouse Tavern
This summer we mentioned that the restaurant space at the Philadelphia Art Alliance (251 S. 18th St.) was under the control of Michelin-starred chef Ed Brown, food/beverage honcho of Restaurant Associates. Signage recently went up revealing the name of the slated-for-spring project and now the heads of both front and back of house are locked in.
Elmi, Elliott in at Rittenhouse Tavern
This summer we mentioned that the restaurant space at the Philadelphia Art Alliance (251 S. 18th St.), which has long seemed like an ideal venue for a next-level restaurant concept, was under the control of Michelin-starred chef Ed Brown, food/beverage honcho of Restaurant Associates. Signage recently went up revealing the name of the slated-for-spring project — Rittenhouse Tavern — and now the heads of both front and back of house are locked in. Nicholas Elmi, chef de cuisine of Le Bec-Fin up until this weekend, will run day-to-day at the Tavern, working with Brown to develop and execute a modern American menu. They've also tapped Dan Elliott, a veteran of Oyster House, Rouge, Alma de Cuba and Lacroix who last opened Fairmount's Hickory Lane, as GM.
