Prospect
Gwynnett St
Aska
These cutting-edge eateries are all about the visual pyrotechnics, although not at the expense of sophistication and flavor. The modern Scandinavian restaurant Aska replaced the pop-up Frej in Kinfolk Studios, granting patrons permanent access to Dried Pigs Blood chips and Local Sea-Buckthorn Berry jelly. Visitors at Prospect at Fort Greene can go for straightforward fare like burgers and fries, but are better served by a trip to the Chef’s Table, for intriguingly conceived dishes like “Nitro Foie Balls,” with Winter Citrus, Meyer Lemon Cake, Poppy Seed Crumble, and Orange Snow. And our winner, Gwynnett St., constructs serious eye-candy from deceptively simple ingredients, like an ash-dusted and brined Amish chicken, perched on a cornucopia of potatoes, rutabaga, and brightly colored beets.
