Oyatte – Dining Room Captain
Oyatte is a 30-seat contemporary fine dining restaurant in New York City, centered on seasonal, farm-driven ingredients sourced directly from our upstate New York farm. Founded by Chef Hasung Lee—formerly Head Chef at Atomix, Sous Chef at The French Laundry, and Geranium in Denmark—Oyatte represents a culmination of his culinary journey, combining technical mastery, global techniques, and a deep respect for the natural flavors of each ingredient.
