Niche

Acclaimed restaurateur Gerard Craft has relocated his flagship restaurant, Niche, from Benton Park to a brand-new, state-of-the-art space in downtown Clayton. The menu from Craft an chef du cuisine Nate Hereford remains true to the ethos that made Niche so beloved among local diners: progressive modern cuisine with an emphasis on local, seasonal produce -- and also with a playful side. Diners can order from the a la carte menu, but the new Niche also features a special chef's table with an more extensive tasting menu. While drop-in diners might find an empty seat at the bar, reservations are strongly recommended.
