HAVEN Riverfront Restaurant & Bar Opening 10/9 with New Executive Chef

Restaurateur Jerry Maher and

his partner, Kerri-Ann Sweeten, owners of HAVEN Riverfront Restaurant

& Bar, have named as Executive Chef Peter Larsen of Westwood, NJ. 





HAVEN is scheduled to open October 9th in the new Edgewater Harbor

development.

 "Peter's command of

ingredients and technique--paired with his love of cooking and years of

experience--are perfect for what we're creating at HAVEN. We're thrilled to

have him join our team and launch our latest venture," notes Jerry Maher. He

and Sweeten also own Hoboken waterfront landmark 3Forty Grill. 

Chef Larsen is a graduate

of the Royal Culinary Academy of Copenhagen, Denmark. Most recently, he held

the positions of Executive Chef at The Goodwin (which he opened) and Artisanal

(both in Manhattan). Prior to that, Peter was Chef at Town (also in Manhattan)

and Nobu Las Vegas.  

Located just 20 feet from

the Hudson River and midway between the George Washington Bridge

and Lincoln Tunnel, HAVEN features extraordinary

Manhattan skyline views; Modern New American cuisine with classic roots; a

comfortably chic aesthetic; outdoor seating; and a lively bar scene presenting

a well-balanced mix of classic and contemporary cocktails.

Chef Larsen's menus for HAVEN beautifully balance local seasonal ingredients,

bright but complex flavors and seasoning and creative, modern technique.

Highlights from his fall dinner menu include Yellowfin Tuna Tartare

w/Avocado Purée, Braised Creekstone Farm Short Ribs w/Marinated Chanterelles, and Miso-Glazed

Chilean Sea Bass w/Edamame Purée, Pearl Onions & Yuzu White Chocolate

Sauce.

"Parisienne;" Pretzel-Crusted Fried Calamari w/Mustard-Scallion

Remoulade; Korean Short Rib Sliders w/Kimchi, Crab Cake Sliders w/Pickled
