Alloy fuses fine food, affordability
“Ok, Virginia, get this straight. It’s not fusion… it’s Alloy. Fusion is so last decade.”
It has taken a few years, but finally… the birth of Alloy. We have awaited the opening of this restaurant with much anticipation. It is the effort of one of the city’s well-respected chefs, Rogelio Herrera, ex of Wildwood, Divino and Teatro — excellent creds, as you can see — and chef and front-man, Uri Heilik.
The last time I was in this funny old building it was packed with a bunch of lawyers’ offices. Not a legal beagle let, thank goodness. Just sleek and sassy, contemporary and elegant, metallic and mirrored, softened and warmed with a blush of pink and the sheen of wood. Dining room and a summer-pretty patio off to the right, more dining, lounge and bar off to the left, a glassy wine “cellar” in the middle. Very cool.
