Chef John Fraser’s modern Aegean cuisine includes dishes like mastic-marinated lamb chops with lamb sausage, squash and black sesame, and a husk cherry salad with kefalotyri, red chicory and cipollini onion. Amy Racine, the beverage director, assembles wines primarily from Greece and Turkey, but there are selections from around the world. An exciting twist? All the bottles show influences from nearby bodies of water. There’s also a large selection of Aegean spirits and liqueurs.
