"Similar to the bar around the corner, the restaurant is also backed by JK Park Hospitality, founded by industry veterans Jimmy Rizvi (co-founder of Bungalow and GupShup) and Kanvar Singh (founder of Elsie Rooftop and Elsie Penthouse). But unlike the dim and sultry Japanese bar down the hallway, the restaurant channels the glow of the Mediterranean with a white tufted banquette that curves around the entire dining room, deep sage dining chairs and planters that sprout with all types of greenery."
"Manning the grill is executive chef Austin Torsiello, whose decade plus of experience include time spent at Michelin-starred Junoon, The Breslin and Masa. At Skëwr, chef Torsiello touts a clean, "guilt-free" Mediterranean menu, one that eschews seed oils and avoids processed, refined and /or artificial ingredients."
"You can find all of the usual suspects of Mediterranean fare here-dips, spreads and, naturally, as the name implies, skewers of all kinds. A meal here should begin with a spread or two or three for the table, best explored by ordering the mezze trio or the mezze grande that comes with five choices."
Skëwr Mediterranean Grille debuted on February 9 at Nomad's Park South Hotel, joining Stone & Soil bar as part of the venue's restaurant expansion.
