 Any chef who walks into the Campton Place kitchen must contend with history---Birnbaum to Ogden, Manrique to Humm. Change has come again with chef Srijith Gopinathan, part of the Taj Hotels regime. Brown leather now dresses the dining room's luxurious booths; the heavy old-school window treatments have departed. Still, the sculpted glass flower chandelier softly lights the dining room. Chef "Sri" lights up the menu with bright flavors and bold stylings, but the chef also shows restraint. French and Californian technique and inflection tame the spicy influences drawn from his native land. His gentle touch shines on a simple spot prawn sashimi with perilla foam and dashi. Red beets puréed with beet juice and vinegar form curd, cooled by an icy snow of frozen goat cheese. We also like a sardine with slow cooked tomatoes, but an overly gingery sorbet impairs the dish. Sri cooks baby lamb just right and his lentil gâteau with squash and green garlic show off spring's finest attributes. Pastry chef Matt Tinder takes genmai cha (green tea and roasted brown rice), churns it into ice cream, then adds puffed farro for texture. Warm peaches add natural sweetness. Another flourish at the finish: spiced cherries, vanilla hazelnut sponge with cherry pit ice cream. Tinder roasts and grinds the pits into nutty bliss. Master sommelier Richard Dean (Tavern on the Green, The Mark) matches with confident pairings.
