Proudly Californian, Chef Russell Jackson switched coasts and commands Reverence, set along Harlem's historic stretch of Strivers' Row. One of the most exciting restaurants in northern Manhattan, this dining space boasts a U-shaped counter and a chef's kitchen.The chef weaves his love of California, seasonality and fermentation into an intriguing tasting menu that features an abundance of local produce. Like the weather, the menu changes quickly but diners spending an evening here may be presented with a melange of peak-season peas dressed with fragrant herb salad and a cloud of fermented tofu; gorgeous asparagus to rival California's best, drizzled with a black garlic sauce; or dry-aged sea trout bearing crisped skin in a pool of burnt onion jus.
