About

Chef Rafidi takes inspiration from his family’s roots in the Levant region, bringing to the table an experience that melds the ancient tradition of the region’s coal-fired cuisine with local, seasonal ingredients and a refined culinary acumen. The heart of the restaurant is Albi's wood-burning hearth, and the Hearth Table which guests can reserve for Chef Rafidi's Sofra - a semi-improvisational tasting menu - and an intimate view of the open kitchen. Wine Director William Simons curates an eclectic, international wine program with extensive offerings from throughout the eastern Mediterranean: Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey. The Garden Table provides an intimate space for parties of 10 to 16 guests to embark on a private Journey Through Levantine Cooking with a unique Sofra experience. For parties larger than 16 guests, Albi offers the opportunity to reserve the full restaurant for the evening.
