Thermidor is a 1960s-era inspired restaurant and bar that's reviving the lost art of mid-20th century dining and cocktailing in Mint Plaza.

The inspiration for the new restaurant, say the Spork owners, is dining out in the 1950s and 1960s. "What was fine dining like before Nouvelle Cuisine?" Binn recounts. "What was it like to go out back then? What comes to mind? Filet mignon, things baked in shells ― it was rich, decadent, elegant." To that end, the chef consulted just two cookbooks: an old edition of the Gastronomique and an anthology of Gourmet recipes from the 1960s or 1970s.
