Many in the neighborhood were a bit surprised when Nightingale Nine suddenly closed its doors at 329 Smith Street a few weeks ago. The Vietnamese restaurant, founded by chef Robert Newton and partner Kerry Diamond, had been one of the more popular places in Carroll Gardens.
Reader Tim reached out to say:
"I will miss Nightingale 9 and Wilma Jean. I am surprised the people running these place didn't sell what seemed to be successful businesses rather than shutting them down. Do you know the reasons why?"
Emmanuelle, another Carroll Gardens reader, wrote:
"Do you have any insight on what happened to the Pho place on Smith Street by Carroll Park? They shuttered down without any “vacation sign”
or without a farewell to the community. Twitter, Fb, Instagram etc. : as if nothing happened. When you call, message says that they’re closed for a vacation but says nothing about reopening. A new logo has appeared on the front with the word “Sans”. Sans what? Cuisine sans beurre? Fermeture sans management? Sans rien dire?"

SANS, a new vegan restaurant from Champ Jones, the former sous-chef of Eleven Madison Park, did indeed just opened its doors in Nightingale 9's space, The eatery is currently offering a $65 five course tasting menu, that can be paired with wine for an additional $45.
According to Eater, "Jones has partnered with longtime colleague Robert Newton, chef and owner of the now-closed Nightingale Nine and Seersucker restaurants, for a short-term “residency” of sorts. The restaurant will be a one-year project, Jones tells Eater, a way to test drive the menu specializing in dishes using ingredients only derived from plants."

I love small plates, but not for $14 each (with no meat or dairy) The second item is basically bread and butter for $8.
I know rents are expensive but this reeks of an Emperor with no clothes on. If anyone eats here please let us know how it is.
Really hate this trend of charging for bread and butter. $8 is the most expensive one I've seen.
