World-renowned Michelin-starred chef Shaun Hergatt’s new restaurant, REN, has opened in Brooklyn (1571 McDonald Avenue).
Designed by Studio GAIA, REN features a grand dining room that seats 120 people with high ceilings, beautiful rugs and comfortable seats. The attractive bronze bar, where all tools and accessories are custom made, seats eight, and there is a private dining room with glass walls with a wooden rectangle table that seats 10 overlooking the restaurant.
The seasonally driven menu showcases the finest and freshest ingredients, and
