MILLERTON — Millerton’s newest restaurant is now open for business on every evening except Sunday and Monday.

Willa occupies the former home of village favorite 52 Main, owned and operated by Eleanor Nurzia. The new owners are Jim Buhs, 52 Main’s longtime bartender, and Alanna Broesler. The chef is New York City-trained Daniel Meissner.

The trio have been working on the project for eight months, changing the menu to locally sourced seasonal dishes like Maplebrook burrata with butternut squash, snapdragon apples and pine nuts; cheeses from Chaseholm farm; and Averill Farm quince cobbler. The interior has been brightened up with light green walls, mirrors and art. The long bar serves signature cocktails and mocktails.

Willa serves dinner from 4 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and from 4 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
