This dish just tastes like summer. The perfectly seared filet of Branzino promises crispy skin and tender, buttery flesh. Chef John pairs the gorgeous piece of fish with a classic panzanella salad, full of big pieces of crunchy bread, cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and red onion, all tossed in a punchy, tangy red wine vinaigrette.

Didn’t like the salad or dressing at all. Not at all what I expected. Also, skimpy on the croutons. An ambitious attempt, but a failure sadly. I had high hopes.

Could be a larger portion, but the flavor is great. The fish is tender and flaky.
For much of the past two decades, Chef John DeLucie has been one of New York City's most popular chefs leading a number of restaurants like Bedford & Co, Ainslie, Empire Diner, The Lion, and The Waverly Inn. Upon graduating from NYU, he eventually gave in to his natural culinary curiosity and began a tour of Europe's great cuisine centers (France and Italy) where he sculpted his own cooking style, fusing modern cooking techniques with European craft. Upon returning to the States, DeLucie landed several jobs including Chef de Cuisine at the venerable seafood restaurant Oceana. Today, DeLucie's style remains as distinctively simple as it is universally praised. His newest restaurant, Merchants Social, opened in Hudson, New York, in 2022.
