Celery Victor Meets Harvey Wallbanger at Thermidor

Here we are inside Thermidor, groovy new venture from Spork chef Bruce Binn and partner Neil Jorgenson, right in the midst of this week's little soft-opening phase.

You'll notice the design gives a strong nod to 1960's decor, but Jorgenson took care to avoid any cheesy themed-out feeling by exposing the concrete walls and the pipes in the ceiling.

He even scoured European eBay sites for some of the vintage sconces and chairs. Today's servers handed us tonight's menu, dominated by American throwbacks like scallops Newburg; and they almost convinced us to stay for the baked lobster Thermidor, layered with bechamel.

A Brooke Arthur-curated list of cocktails inspired by classics, wine list created with the help of Rachel Bassignani and Four Barrel coffee round things out. The fully scaled menu should be on offer by the weekend. [EaterWire]
