Charming Tribeca townhouse w/ farm-to-table New American. Creative dishes, beautiful space.
This Tribeca gem, nestled in a historic townhouse, offers a delightful dining experience with a focus on farm-to-table New American cuisine. The beautiful interior, featuring marble and tile work, provides a charming backdrop for creative and flavorful dishes. Guests can choose between a tasting menu or an à la carte selection, with highlights such as grilled monkfish and husk cherry sorbet.
The restaurant offers New American cuisine with a strong emphasis on farm-to-table ingredients. While many praise the creativity and execution of dishes, particularly the burger which is frequently cited as a must-try, some find the tasting menu to be lacking in value or portion size. The à la carte menu appears to be a safer bet for many, with specific mentions of excellent vegetarian options like smoked aubergine dip and chard, alongside standout items like the burger and dry-aged duck.
"The burger is frequently highlighted as a must-try dish, with multiple users describing it as exceptional and one of the best in the city. Other recommended à la carte items include the sourdough, farm salad, duck, and chocolate cake. For vegetarian diners, the smoked aubergine dip, sautéed chard, and mushrooms are specifically mentioned."
Customers generally have a very positive view of the restaurant, praising its creative and flavorful dishes, accommodating service, and beautiful ambiance. There are some mixed reviews regarding the tasting menu's value and portion sizes, with a general consensus leaning towards the à la carte options being more consistently satisfying.
