The day that Roosevelt Island residents worried would never arrive will occur on Monday, December 4. The former Trellis Diner, a second home for many Roosevelt Islanders, will re-open that morning as the Nisi Restaurant after being closed three years for renovations.

I spoke today with Nisi father and son owners Kaie & Alex Razaghie

who are very excited to present their new Nisi restaurant to the Roosevelt Island community.

Nisi will be open 7 days a week, 7 AM – 11 PM and will serve separate breakfast, lunch and dinner menus emphasizing fresh food and quality cooking.

Take a look at the new Roosevelt Island Nisi Breakfast Menu and stay tuned in the next few days for the new Nisi Lunch and Dinner menus too.
