Title
Welcome to Bentley's on 27 - A Visionary Dining Experience
Description
Bentley’s on 27, his first restaurant, has been in development for almost two years. In December 2003 he located the unique space at 201 South College Street atop the Charlotte Plaza Building. In one month’s time he formed Lauren Taylor, Inc. (the names of his daughter and son) in order to bring Bentley’s (the family name of his wife, Kay) to fruition.
Jim’s vision includes classic French dishes prepared and presented at the table with the use of a gueridon. The gueridon, a mobile cooking cart used in French tableside service, is rarely seen in dining rooms today. In response to the casual bistro style, now ubiquitous in restaurants, Jim wanted to bring some excitement and theater back to the dining room. French tableside, a service style close to Jim’s heart, was the obvious choice.
The Executive Chef at Bentley’s on 27 is William Schutz. Chef Schutz, a Long Island, NY native, has come to the Queen City after a decade’s tenure in the kitchens of Manhattan. After some initial training at the New York Restaurant School, Chef Schutz went to Tribeca Grill (co-owned by NY restauranteur Drew Nieporent and actor Robert DeNiro). He was quickly picked up by NY Chef David Bouley with whom he cooked for three years at Bouley’s namesake restaurant (rated #1 by Zagat’s for 5 years).
