The Peterboro

The Peterboro is my take on a Chinese restaurant. It’s a little bit like Mission Chinese. The bar takes up a third of the restaurant, so cocktails are very prevalent in the scene. Just bellying up to the bar and letting the bartender walk you through the cocktail menu is your best bet. We’ve got a great cocktail program that’s very tied to the kitchen, so we’re using all kinds of ingredients that Chef Brion Wong is making, or doesn’t want, or he’ll just show up with — like five gallons of lemongrass syrup. The chef has a lot of influence over what goes on the cocktail menu.
