Benno

Jonathan Benno, formerly of Per Se and Lincoln Ristorante, is the marquee name behind the Evelyn Hotel’s three dining options. A lobby-level bakery and café is the gateway to the swanky Leonelli Taberna and the formal, dressy Benno. The latter’s art deco room specializes in tasting menus, a serious wine list and attentive service. The chef’s signature Mediterranean courses include olive oil-braised abalone; spaghetti with clams and sea urchin; and veal chop with sweetbreads for two.
