After shuttering in 2005 for renovations, The Plaza's Hotel's storied Oak Room is back in grand fashion, pimping out its lovingly restored digs, as well as a new direction: The restaurant is managed separately from the hotel by Joey Allaham (Prime Grill), and he's brought onboard a culinary biggie-award-winning Atlanta chef Joël Antunés . After a delayed opening and poor reviews, Antunés was canned in favor of longtime David Burke protégée Eric Hara—who we suspect will be steering the menu towards new-American, rather than the former toque's formal French. The restaurant is set to reopen on March 18.
