Both Renee & Colin worked in NYC restaurant kitchens after graduating
from Peter Kump's NY Cooking School (aka I.C.E.), took time to travel to Paris where they apprenticed in the 3 Star Micheline
rated Arpege, and returned to NYC to prepare to open their own business together. Colin worked as a private chef to
a UN ambassador and Renee managed a hotel restaurant. They married in 1997 and wrote their business plan. They
opened The Tasting Room in November 1999. Colin is the Chef and Sommelier and Renee runs the dining room. They
have a two year old son, Lincoln, who loves food. They live near the restaurant in the East Village.
The Tasting Room features the work of local artists. The exhibit
changes monthly and new work is always welcome. Please contact us us at thetastingroom@msn.com with information on your work if you are interested in showing at the restaurant. Artwork is
available for sale and our guests appreciate the changing exhibit.
