Dinner in April - Silk and Spice Tasting Menu
In April, we had the opportunity to dine at Next, for the second time. A year had passed, and in between our visits, we had the opportunity to spend almost a week with Chef Grant Achatz, Nick Kokonas, at Blackberry Farm, in the mountains of Tennessee. So, this was a bit more, than a simple return visit. Though Chef Achatz is probably more involved with his flagship, Alinea (we dined there for a second time, as well), and opening up a few new projects, his hands are still all over Next, and it showed, yet again.
Next is located in an unassuming commercial building (not well-marked), at 953 W Fulton Market, at Morgan St. However, the rather plain facade gives no indication of what one is in for, once inside.
The interior spaces are lovely, and a bit on the minimalist side - but in a very pleasing way. Many of the walls are adorned with vibrant pieces of artwork, and murals, in contrast to otherwise bare surfaces. We were promptly seated for our early reservation, at a spacious 4-top. Because of the culinary artistry to follow, having a spacious table at Next, is almost a requirement.
We had called, to verify my wife’s bi-valve allergy, and the kitchen had made a few changes for her side of the Prix Fixe Tasting Menu. The menu was named “Silk and Spice,” and was exquisite, with each dish beautiful to behold, and so delicious. Next does a “theme” for their ever-changing Tasting Menu (changed at least quarterly), so any visit after April, will be different - highly different. Just check for the theme, when making a booking. One upcoming menu, that caught my eye, was “The Fat Duck,” in a tribute to Chef Heston Blumenthal’s Michelin-starred restaurant in Bray, Berkshire, UK.
As the menu changes constantly, there is little need to cite all of the dishes we had. There was not one weak dish, in the whole meal, and each was as beautiful (and beautifully plated/presented, in a highly creative way) as they were tasty. Portion sizes were small, and that is a good thing, as we had 17, by my count. There was no going home hungry.
We did do the Wine/Beverage Pairing again, and were delighted that we had - the selections were as exciting, as our dishes, and perfectly paired in mostly Riedel stemware, all varietally specific.
Service (including the wine service) was spot-on, with no pause, and nothing rushed. The kitchen and the service team were in concert with us.
The noise-level, even though the restaurant was soon full, was basically non-existent, beyond the servers describing the dishes, or the sommelier discussing the wine being poured. The lighting is moderately bright, but that is great to appreciate the visual elements of the culinary artwork being presented.
While not inexpensive, we both felt that this meal was a very good value. It’s also easy to call Next “Alinea’s little sister,” but I do not now think that is fair - Next is Next, and stands alone. The dishes are unique, creative, beautiful and delicious, and about the only difference is that there is a bit less “theater” at Next - it is a more traditional dining experience - and a great one!
We will be returning, and hope to get reservations to do the Fat Duck Menu.
