Cichonski and Roman's Ela opens Friday

UPDATE [14nov11]: Check out food and interior photos of Ela.

The openings are coming fast and/or furious this week — received word that Ela, Jason Cichonski and Chip Roman's collabo in the old Ansill (627 S. Third St.), is up for a Friday, Nov. 11 opening after some fam/friends runs this week. "Artful New American" is the tagline the chefs — they're partners, but this is more Cichonski's vision, while Blackfish and Mica are Roman's — are using to describe the food and drink. Below peep some previews of the menu, which will range in price from $8 to $23. If you ever tried Cichonski's cooking at Lacroix you know these are more indicative of the flavors in play than cut-and-dried dish breakdowns — the "horseradish" highlighted in the hamachi dish, for example, will be served as a Italian-style shaved-ice granita. More soon.

  • Hamachi with green apple, horseradish and truffles
  • Baby Beets with brie, quince and cardamom
  • Sweet Potato Soup with porcini and coffee caramel
  • Popcorn Pana Cotta with paddlefish caviar, asparagus and shrimp
  • Foie Gras with parsley root, ginger bread and huckleberry;
  • Diver Scallops served with root vegetables, blood oranges and black sesame
  • Duck Magret with pretzel spaetzle, Brussels sprouts and smoked butternut squash puree
  • Gnocchi with maitake mushrooms, cauliflower and Japanese pumpkin
  • Black Cod served with red cabbage, sunchokes and whole grain mustard
  • Pork Belly with broccoli rabe, pears and served with a sour dough risotto
