The Grove, a contemporary American restaurant on West 44th Street, announced the appointment of Chef Ana Morales as its new executive chef. Morales, formerly of Brooklyn’s Riverbend Kitchen, assumes the role immediately.
Her tenure at Riverbend was noted for a focus on seasonal ingredients and New American cuisine. At The Grove, Morales is expected to refresh the menu with an emphasis on locally sourced produce and sustainable proteins. The restaurant aims to balance traditional dishes with innovative preparations.
The management expressed confidence that Morales’s background and vision will complement the restaurant’s existing style, targeting a diverse Midtown clientele.
