Communal Kitchen, the new restaurant from first-time chef/owner Jed Gidaly – has opened in Nyack. The hotel and country club veteran — is making small plates of local food, small production wines, and hand crafted cocktails in the former Cafe Barcel space.

The menu (View Menus), features local and organic products from the Hudson Valley Region — with many items being sourced right from the town farmers’ market. Gidaly hopes to keep the menu as local and seasonal as possible – and so interesting that diners will come back often. While the food is Contemporary American, Gidaly says the dishes are creative and eclectic ranging from small plates to share to larger entrees and from glass jars to charcuterie and artisanal cheeses.

The bar features handcrafted cocktails — small batch liquors and their own barrel ageing program — a wine preservation system, and a selection of local craft beers.

Communcal Kitchen is open 6 days (Tuesday thru Sunday) for dinner and additionally brunch on Saturday and Sunday.
