South Jersey native Greg Vernick spent the bulk of his career opening restaurants around the world for Jean-Georges Vongerichten. When he and his wife, Julie, wanted to do their own place, they came back to the Delaware Valley and made waves with their bustling (but intimate) bi-level debut a couple of blocks off Rittenhouse. Vernick checks all the boxes of what it means to be a modern American restaurant in 2016: delicious things on toast, Asian influences, large-format proteins cooked in a wood-burning oven, rosés a-go-go, uni. Expect it all rendered in thoughtful, joyful expressions, and served by a vivacious staff.
