Located on the the historic Brooklyn waterfront, RES is about creating a place where a chef can present their work exactly how they want it to be, while exploring the city, meeting colleagues, and working on their repertoire. The Franks also talk cocktails, and how fresh ingredients make a huge difference when creating an eye-opening drink for your customers. Ever wondered who Damon’s bartending influence comes from?
