Designed by Studio Gala, Jonathan Morr’s restaurant in Chelsea, Cherry, which opened earlier this year, focuses on French-Japanese cuisine by Chef Andy Choi and features a subterranean dining room with dark polished woods, lush red velvet and ornate sconces.

CherryA warmly lit, crimson entrance leads guests to the romantic space that evokes an ambiance akin to mid-century Paris. Plush seating accompanies slightly lowered wooden tables designed to enhance the community dining experience while hand-selected, Japanese-inspired portraits and imagery punctuate the main dining room. Cherry’s dedicated, exposed sushi kitchen gives guests an insider’s view of the master sushi chefs at work.
