Chef/Owner Anthony Pino, a Johnson & Wales University alum, brings pedigree to the plate. His resume includes stints at NYC’s Park Avalon, crafting dishes for Balducci’s, and two James Beard House guest appearances.

Pino’s seasonal menu prioritizes fresh, local ingredients, evolving with the harvest. (He also owns Bin 14, Hoboken’s only wine bar.)
