World-renowned Michelin-starred chef Shaun Hergatt’s new restaurant, REN, has opened in Brooklyn (1571 McDonald Avenue).

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.
