Five Acres, a new seasonal restaurant from chef Greg Baxtrom (Olmsted, Maison Yaki and Patti Ann’s), is now open on the Rink Level at Rockefeller Plaza, joining other A-Listers like the King Team at Jupiter and Naro from the folks behind Atomix.

Baxtrom, whose fine dining background includes stints at Alinea, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Per Se & others is showcasing those techniques at Five Acres named after his family’s five-acre farm outside of Chicago. The open-air restaurant features lots of lush greenery and natural materials throughout.
