Or'esh

New York, NY

Restaurant

Located in the heart of SoHo, Or'esh is a modern Mediterranean restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred chef Nadav Greenberg. Rockwell Group was inspired by the warmth and luminosity of the flames of the kitchen's grill, and the subtle sense of ceremony in Mediterranean dining. Light, bright tones mingle with beiges, burgundy accents, and burnished gold, suggesting the glow of embers rather than the typical coastal blues and whites. The result is an environment that celebrates the elemental spirit of fire through a nuanced interplay of materiality, light, and emotion.
