Description

At Prima, uber-chef Kevin Taylor's restaurant in the Hotel Teatro, the menu showcases many of the best tricks in Taylor's repertoire. The menu balances brilliant modern paraphrases on traditional Italian cuisine with more plainspoken hotel dishes, offering plates like soft, egg-filled ravioli. The room is chic, somewhat more laid-back than Restaurant Kevin Taylor across the lobby, and the service is eager to please.

Brunch at Prima runs from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and the very first item on the menu is "Unlimited Prosecco, $8." Seriously, eight bucks. Seriously, unlimited.

And when you're done, you hand over eight dollars (for the drinks, at least). That's it. No strings, no hidden... More »

Hotel work, for some chefs, is like a retreat. Because of the size of the staff, the hours are generally more kind (not shorter, necessarily, but allowing for actual vacations and days off). The kitchens are enormous — single departments (pastry, ... More »

We'd already ordered drinks, Laura and I, and were just settling into the purple banquette behind a scratched black cafe table at Prima, Kevin Taylor's most recent revision at Hotel Teatro. This isn't the first restaurant Taylor has had in this ... More »

'Tis the season when it's socially acceptable to act like someone who hit puberty and was given the keys to a brand-new muscle car on the same day. The culmination of this season is the office Christmas party, which rivals revealing government sec... More »
