The journey at ROMERA begins as the guests
descend the stairs towards the restaurant and view a
gallery displaying Romera's artful creations. They are
invited to sip champagne and browse a magnificent collection of cookbooks from the Chef's personal
Biblioteca Culinaria.

Renowned architect Glen Coben, the creative force behind several of New York City's most noteworthy venues, designed the 48-seat restaurant characterized by a conceptualist aesthetic, artfully translating Romera's ideas into shapes, spaces, colors, and textures. The design intertwines the two passions and professions of the Doctor and Chef: medicine and art. The pure, essential, and white tones represent Romera's medical background, while warm, expressive, and colorful nuances evoke his artistic culinary vision.

Distinctive features of the restaurant include a custom-made "light canopy" above the tables illuminating each dish as well as an interior hanging herb garden revealed as the curtains that surround the dining room are opened, creating a unique staging effect. In addition, the guests will find a radiant wine cellar housing a collection of the greatest wines in the world, what is possibly the most extensive selection of champagnes in New York as well as a wide range of sakes and liquors.

Behind the scenes, Chef Romera will be preparing
his exquisite culinary creations and pursuing his
research on the flavors and aromas that lead to perfect harmony in cuisine.
