Set on the lobby level of The Liberty Hotel, a national
historic landmark that was once the storied Charles Street Jail,
CLINK. offers Bostonians and hotel guests Modern American
Cuisine prepared by classically-trained Chef Joseph Margate. Each dish
reflects his intense focus on flavor and dedication to seasonal,
sustainable, and local ingredients.
Vestiges of original jails cells create cozy nooks for dining, and an
open kitchen displays the theater of cooking as each stylish dish is
prepared. Warm gold leather seats, butcher block tables and granite
accents add contemporary style to the dining experience.
Fresh from his stint as a sous-chef at New York City’s lauded Eleven
Madison Park, Joseph Margate stepped into the Executive Chef position at
The Liberty Hotel’s restaurant, CLINK., bringing with him a modern
French approach and a passion to support the region’s local farms and
fisheries. A graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San
Francisco, Margate brings with him ten years of West Coast restaurant
and hotel experience and a California-inspired cooking philosophy.
At CLINK., Margate is refining a menu that showcases his
classically-trained European technique coupled with the freshness of
in-season American ingredients. Diners can experience his enthusiasm for
“umami,” the fifth taste most commonly described as the sensation of
savoriness on the tongue.
