Good news at Eau Palm Beach, the former Ritz-Carlton on the ocean in Manalapan.
A year and a half after the transition, the swanky resort has hired an executive chef with the kind of culinary chops its high-end clientele expects. He’s Josh Thomsen, most recently chef-partner at Agricola in New Jersey with a resume that includes stints with such restaurant superstars as Michael Mina, Thomas Keller (French Laundry) and Joachim Splichal (Patina). Also from Agricola is chef de cuisine, Manlee Siu, who will take over the kitchen at Angle, Eau’s “fine dining” eatery.
Frankly, it’s a move that should have come a long time ago. And next step is to continue upgrading the resort; the whimsical Jonathan Adler redo has been a hit.
