Chef Cappellini named Executive Chef

Chef Cappellini intends to introduce an increasing range of world flavors to the menus at Mesler, which is a concept he explored during his time at Sixteen. During his tenure at Le Meridien, he prepared Spanish tapas at the hotel’s restaurant, El Tapeo, and some of that international flavor can be expected at Mesler as he adapts the menu.

“That cuisine had a wonderful earthiness and we’d like to introduce people in the Hyde Park area to new flavors that they might have needed to go downtown to find,” he says. " Mesler means 'mix and mingle,' and that's what I'll be doing more of at the restaurant."
