Sculptural light fittings and iridescent columns add theatricality to Tatiana, ensuring the Manhattan restaurant feels totally at home alongside Lincoln Center’s performing arts heritage.
Modellus Novus designed the space, using classic restaurant design touchpoints alongside some more unexpected choices – such as cladding structural supports in chromate-treated steel.
Diners sink into oxblood dining chairs or long velvet banquettes (a reference to New York park benches) placed next to marble-topped and brass-wrapped tables. Glossy wall tiles and cloud-shaped statement lights complete the dramatic aesthetic.

Tatiana has a pervasive sense of openness, reflected by its huge windows – perfect for people-watching – as well as the studio’s decision to leave the kitchen and service stations exposed. Guests that want more privacy can retreat behind the gold chain curtains of the restaurant’s private dining space.
Bronx-born chef Kwame Onwuachi has cooked up a ‘tapestry of New York-inspired cuisines’ for the menu, which runs the gamut from brown stew and curried goat patties to rainbow cookie pannacotta and Harlem cheesecake.
