Our friend Chef Patrick Soucy has a deep appreciation for highlighting the flavors of New England’s seacoast. His focus is on the re-introduction of heirloom seed saving, slow food, fermentation, growing, hunting, and harvesting directly from the field to the plate. His thirst for culture recently led him to Spain and France to explore wine regions, seafood & the art of charcuterie. He is the recipient of a 2014 StarChefs.com Rising Star Chef Award, and has cooked at the James Beard House. Patrick will be bringing his unique approach to the Cornerstone Chef’s Counter – highlighting the flavors of New England and the Mid-Atlantic through beautiful seasonal vegetables, fresh pastas and game meats.

growth is good(Drumroll, please…) It’s with the utmost excitement that we announce a breakthrough expansion (literally) into the space next door, to offer a luxurious new dining area with a full bar! While the Cornerstone chef’s counter you all know and love will remain the same, we’re humbled to be joining the lineup of excellent bars in Wayne with this new addition. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes on building a craft cocktail and wine program that is focused on genuine hospitality, with a classic take on cocktails and wines that complement our menus. Don’t worry, we’re still maintaining our original BYOB status – so, you’ll still be able to bring your own as well as indulging in what we have to offer.* Rest assured, we’ll be applying the same thoughtful attention to each and every glass that’s poured as we do to the plates and boards we’re known for. As they say, all good things come to those who wait… While we will re-open after initial construction on October 27th, the new space will still be a work in progress and (hopefully) open in January 2018. In true Cornerstone spirit, we’ll be making the most of the time that our doors are closed: Follow us over the next three weeks, as we travel to Nantucket to treat our team to the island which inspired and shaped us, showing them where our roots lie.

#cornerstonecareswe’ll bee closed (archived)
This Saturday, September 16th, we’ll be closed as we attend the 4th annual Honey Bash Gala at JG Domestic in the Cira Centre. This event is extremely close to our hearts, as Christine Doherty Kondra and her sister, Erin Kreszl founded The Bee Foundation in May 2014 inspired by the sudden passing of their cousin, Jennifer Sedney, due to a ruptured brain aneurysm. The Bee Foundation strives to raise awareness of brain aneurysms and increase funding for innovative research that saves lives. Since its start, The Bee Foundation has raised over $500,000 dollars and has awarded 4 preventative research grants with researchers at leading medical institutions.
