Chef Dale Talde and partners, David Massoni and John Bush—the successful triumvirate behind Thistle Hill Tavern and Pork Slope in Park Slope, Brooklyn— invite you to dine at TALDE, a neighborhood restaurant featuring a creative menu of Asian-American cuisine. 

OF NOTE: The 65-seat restaurant offers guests a casual and comfortable, yet elevated, dining experience, showcasing Asian-American fare reflective of the distinct cultural and culinary experiences of Executive Chef/Partner Dale Talde.

Establishing the ambiance at TALDE is an impressive collection of Asian mahogany wood-carvings that Bush and Massoni salvaged from an antiques warehouse in Pennsylvania. The woodwork—moldings, wall coverings, window frames, mantle pieces and more—originally made up an “Oriental Study” in the early 20th century upstate New York mansion of Arnold Constable, owner of one of the oldest and most successful department store chains in America, Arnold Constable & Company. The intricately carved pieces, which depict a myriad of Asian symbols such as dragons, phoenixes, samurai warriors, elephants and fu dogs, are the creations of Maeda Yasube Yoshitsugu from Osaka, Japan, who was known for his work on shrines in the Nagano Prefecture during the Edo Period around the mid 1800s.
