Kristofer Keith and Adolfo Suaya previewed their inspired Art Deco restaurant and lounge on November 3. Eric Greenspan, chef-owner of The Foundry on Melrose and Suaya’s long-time friend, previewed four possible Delux menu items that night, including mini Reubens on pretzel rolls with whiskey horseradish and thin-sheathed arancini containing Scotch-soaked cheddar and mushrooms. Those two items made the final cut. Chef Greenspan decided to spike each of his shareable small plates with alcohol, even dessert.
The owners hope to open Delux on Friday, pending permits from the city, and will likely be open from 8 PM - 2 AM. Until then, here’s the opening menu:
