Profile
With its great skyscraper ceiling, its lofty flower-and-twig arrangements, and its discreet, sky-box dining suites, Eleven Madison Park is the largest member of the Danny Meyer dining empire, and the most conspicuously self-conscious. Since opening its doors in 1998 in the Flatiron district, it has also been a restaurant in search of an identity. The towering floral-and-twig installations have been replaced by more-decorous arrangements of summer flowers and green topiary. Two giant wrought-iron chandeliers, which used to hover over the room in a heavy, medieval sort of way, have been removed, giving the place a lighter, more airy feel. There's a new cocktail menu, new flatware, and a whole new set of delicately ridged china by Limoges. But the most profound change has taken place in the kitchen, where a Swiss cook named Daniel Humm has replaced the original chef, Kerry Heffernan. Mr. Humm arrives from San Francisco after a well-reviewed stint at the Campton Place hotel. Unlike the more earthy cooks Mr. Meyer has favored in the past, Mr. Humm is a high-minded classicist. He is also an alchemist, a dabbler in the mercurial art of reductions and foams, and, almost overnight, he has turned Eleven Madison Park into one of the more interesting restaurants in the neighborhood.
