30 Route 15, Jericho, 899-2223
Talented young chef Jonathan Gilman started cooking in the kitchen at 30 Route 15 in Jericho in September 2012. Since then the space, which started as the Village Cup, has seen two name and concept changes.
I didn’t make it to review Fields Restaurant, though I did enjoy trying dishes at Gilman’s experimental test kitchen before the opening.
Now, with yet another new name, and the owners of Rosie’s Restaurant in Middlebury at the helm, Gilman finds himself running the kitchen of the Jericho Café & Tavern.
Unfortunately, with each transformation, the returns seem to be diminishing. Gone are the days of Douglas-fir-braised pork shanks and farm-egg flan with brûléed honeycomb and herbed lavender “glass” that were the chef’s signatures when he started. There’s nothing wrong with more approachable homestyle fare, but at a recent lunch, some dishes worked far better than others.

I have been very disappointed since he loss of the Village Cup, sad to say I dont go there any more.
Booze-kissed? I used to love the village cup. The new place, whatever it’s called, is just not good anymore.
