Chef David Viana Out at Restaurant He Opened

The Kitchen at Grove Station, a well-reviewed restaurant in Jersey City that executive chef David Viana opened early this year, has closed.

We are told that the owners plan to reopen it in 2016 under the same name but with a new kitchen staff and a new executive chef, replacing Viana.

The 30-something Viana has moved around a lot in his career. He previously worked at Battello in Jersey City, Daryl in New Brunswick, Uproot in Warren, Osteria Morini in Manhattan and Restaurant David Drake in Rahway. The Kitchen at Grove Station was his first executive chef position.
