Juni Opens in the Hotel Chandler in Midtown It was more than a year ago that SHO Shaun Hergatt on Broad Street closed. Now Mr. Hergatt, the Australian chef who secured a pair of Michelin stars for his namesake restaurant, has a new place in the Hotel Chandler in Midtown, in partnership with ESquared Hospitality. It is serene and gracious in shades of gray, with photographs of vegetables. Mr. Hergatt says he will emphasize produce from farms in the region, most of which he has visited. "This will be a much more personal restaurant than SHO," he said. Artichoke ravioli, foie gras with peaches, striped bass with nasturtium and carrots, and duck with hyssop and beets will be on the menu, which lists the vegetable or herb before the protein, a growing trend. He will offer tasting menus of 4, 6 or 10 courses ($90 to $180), besides à la carte items. Prix fixe lunch is $35. Artisanal producers dominate the wine list.
