Monsoon Restaurant Opening in Two Weeks

The Monsoon, an asian kitchen and lounge operated by the Bohlsen Restaurant Group, will open the doors on February 24 at the former Bank of NY building on Deer Park Avenue.

It is BRG's first Asian themed restaurant and its sixth establishment on Long Island preceded by Prime: An American Kitchen and Bar in Huntington, H2O Seafood Grill in Smithtown; Tellers Chophouse  and VERACE in Islip; and Beachtree in East Islip.

A press release today, noting the opening, describes Monsoon as a sanctuary of 21st century design and pleasures from its pan-Asian inspired dishes, some with an American twist and all expertly prepared in a state-of-the-art kitchen where diners may view the live action, to its hip lounge and elegant dining rooms with special effect lighting and high tech entertainment.

The chef is Michael Wilson, who was most recently the executive chef at VERACE. The graduate of Johnson & Wales spent his first six years between Kingston’s Clam Bar in West Sayville and the Florida Keys ultimately as its executive chef.  He believes not only in staying true to the classics in terms of what cannot change but all that can be created with the tools and ingredients of Asian cuisine.
