Eye Candy: Fluke with Watermelon Radishes, Black Sesame Purée, Avocado, and Persian Lime

One of New Jersey’s most storied restaurants, the Ryland Inn beckons epicureans with its historic and luxurious environs, lauded wine collection, and top-notch fare crafted by chef Craig Polignano—and at his recent Beard House dinner, the seasoned chef did not disappoint. With dishes like this stunning local fluke with watermelon radishes, black sesame purée, avocado, and Persian lime, all finished off with garden flowers from Ryland Inn's own grounds, Polignano proved why this Garden State property is a perennial dining destination.
