Fine Dining
Part of Tao Group Hospitality
Located in West Chelsea, Crane Club offers a vibrant dining experience led by Chef Melissa Rodriguez with a menu that highlights seasonal ingredients prepared over wood fire.
Chef Rodriguez’s menu emphasizes wood fire cooking and the pure flavors of seasonal ingredients sourced from small regional farms and fisheries, showing as much care to vegetables as to meats and seafood. Grilled dishes, cooked on a 12-foot custom Mibrasa grill, showcase flavors that are smokier, spicier, and more complex than expected: charred lobster salad; wood-smoked clams; beef short rib, braised then wood-grilled. Raw bar specialties — such as shrimp crudo or razor clams in vinaigrette — are served tableside from a custom cart. A broad list of vegetable and potato sides joins a variety of grains and pastas. The menu is à la carte, with additional large-format “feasts” served family-style.
