NJ Dining: Modern Southern Dining Invades Montclair


Modern Southern Cuisine has arrived in Montclair via Indigo Kitchen on Bloomfield Avenue, and Albert’s on Church St.

Indigo Kitchen, Lance Knowling’s new Montclair outpost, exudes the cool charm and refinement Lance is known for.  According to Knowling,  “[t]his restaurant has a more diverse menu and blends classical techniques with southern and soul styles. . . [with a] slightly upscale presentation.”
