Followers of the highly creative Chef Dan Latham, formerly of the Latham House, will definitely want to dine at his new restaurant The Table at 3 Acres in Jersey City, New Jersey, which opened the first week in July 2023. We had dinner at The Table at 3 Acres in late August, and it was well worth the drive from Connecticut. The ambience is hip and contemporary with its industrial chic ambience of exposed pipes, tile and exposed brick wall, contemporary art, and a wall of windows to complete the setting. The cuisine is spot on fabulous, and the cocktails deliver on flavor and presentation. Cheers and Bon Appetit!

Chef Dan Latham graciously shares his recipe for Black Sesame Crusted Salmon, with a Ginger Wasabi Sauce, Jasmine Rice, and Asian Style Vegetables to provide you with a delicious “taste” from his new restaurant. We dined at the restaurant on Saturday, August 27, 2023, and the salmon was one of the Mains we had, and it was fabulous.
