Elystan Street

Phil Howard left 25 years of fine-dining formality behind him at The Square when he moved to Chelsea in 2016. His art-filled new neighborhood restaurant Elystan Street (previously Restaurant Tom Aikens) is perfectly soigné, with trendy touches of concrete and Corian. The seasonal menu, all a la carte, weaves in luxurious ingredients, such as truffle with hand-cut strozzapretti and smoked mackerel velouté with toasted muffin, chopped oyster and smoked eel butter. Fine wines by the glass and carafe are a bonus.
