SAGRADA – A Culinary Journey of the Psychedelic Mind by James Beard-nominated KNEAD Hospitality + Design.SAGRADA explores the transformative power of psilocybin—without its physical presence. For millennia, cultures have revered psychedelic mushrooms as sacred medicine, guiding healing, expansion, and self-discovery. Nowhere is this connection more profound than in Mexico, where these fungi are deeply woven into spiritual traditions. Creative Director & Facilitator Michael Reginbogin brings this legacy to life through Mexican cuisine, crafting each dish as a chapter in a psychedelic journey. Rooted in indigenous ingredients, ancient techniques, and modern innovation, our menu offers two paths: an eight-course plant-based menu or a flexitarian menu, primarily plant-based with select animal-sourced ingredients.

An eclectic menu of hearty, classic bistro dishes crafted with New York flair. Think: A hearty Wagyu French Dip, topped with mozzarella and a creamy horseradish au jus, served on a perfectly crunchy baguette; or the Lobster Frites, made with luxe Maine lobster; the Bolognese Blanc, with freshly made rigatoni in a luscious white wine sauce, topped with wagyu beef ragu and parmigiano reggiano; or the innovative Caesar Salad with Fried Cream Cheese Croutons, which takes a classic Caesar and modernizes it with the flavors of that New York staple – the everything bagel. The star here, however, is the over-the-top Angie Chop Martini, a thinly pounded, breaded pork chop redolent of butter, lemon and red wine vinegar, topped with hot peppers and parmigiano reggiano imported from Italy.

    An unforgettable dining experience My wife and I had an incredible evening at Jônt. From the moment we stepped through the door, everything was seamless. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The service struck the perfect balance between polished and personable, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The food was phenomenal. Each course was creative, beautifully presented, and full of bold, balanced flavors. The progression of the tasting menu felt like a journey, with every dish offering something new and exciting. I have a particular obsession with bright acidity, and while a few of the richer dishes might have soared even higher with a touch of lemon, that is very much a personal preference. Fortunately, the sake pairings added just the kind of clean, vibrant lift I love, and they complemented the meal in a way that felt intentional and precise. Jônt is more than just a restaurant. It is an experience we will remember and talk about for a long time. We are already looking forward to our next visit and would recommend it without hesitation.
