PRAIRIE (CLOSED)

Formerly at Delfina, Chef Anthony Strong’s first solo project fuses his Italian expertise with Asian-inspired flavors in stunning dishes like the guanciale-wrapped mochi in radicchio with aged balsamico. Most of the fare here crosses the threshold of PRAIRIE's indoor charcoal grill, an outdoor-picnic scent which delightfully fills the dining room. (Keep an eye out for the flame thrower mounted behind the bar which was, upon the restaurant's opening, used to light the grill each day). Highballs made with Japanese liquors, along with a selection of out-of-the-ordinary Japanese beers, grace the drink menu alongside wine, local draft beers and creative cocktails.
