Garden City, New York- Spring 2018- The Garden City Hotel, celebrating its 145th year as Long Island’s preeminent luxury lodging and event venue this spring, has joined with esteemed Chef David Burke to reboot its entire food and beverage enterprise.
The Hotel will feature two new Burke restaurants – KING BAR by David Burke and RED SALT ROOM by David Burke both beautifully restyled spaces within the hotel’s lobby level and the renowned Garden City Hotel Catering will be further bolstered by the significantly creative culinary direction Chef Burke will orchestrate.
Later this spring Chef Burke will be re-launching the hotel’s Patio Bar with his unique spin on Tapas and craft libations. Hotel guests will also be able to enjoy his cuisine in the comfort of their guest rooms or suites by way of room service.
David Burke, who has helmed some of New York City’s top restaurants over the span of his 35-year career, which also includes appearances on “Top Chef Masters” and induction into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America, will open King Bar – which will feature “New American” all day dining and transition into evening with delightful shareable plates in an upscale lounge setting.
The Red Salt Room will feature a full menu showcasing Chef Burke’s whimsical approach to regional and seasonal dishes.
Hotel catering, including The Garden City Hotel Events (off-premise catering) will have a complete David Burke culinary makeover.
David Burke stated, "This is a very special Hotel and I have exciting ideas to create a truly amazing culinary program there. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with [Executive Chef] Ari Nieminen again. We previously worked together at The River Café and our chemistry will translate to a truly remarkable dining experience.”
“David’s immediate energy and enthusiasm about The Garden City Hotel was evident from our very first discussion about a potential partnership. After my first call he came out the very next morning and it wasn’t long before we were shaking hands on the plans for something very unique. He is unquestionably the most inventive and passionate American chef in my opinion ,” stated the Hotel’s General Manager, J. Grady Colin.
Executive Chef Ari Nieminen said, “David and I worked together years ago at the famed River Café amongst some of the most talented and progressive American c hefs of the time. His unique take on cuisine and his intense commitment to creating new classics and reimagining American favorites has kept me inspired and following his work since our humble beginnings. It’s a real treat to have David in our kitchens. I’m quite certain we will be setting the high bar mark for Long Island dining”.
The Garden City Hotel will continue to serve Saturday Afternoon Tea and the best in class Sunday Brunch, both in David Burke fashion, including many of his signature dishes such as Angry Lobster, Burke’s Dumplings, Clothesline Candied Bacon, and Cheesecake Lollypops and much more.
