Modern British bistro w/ nose-to-tail cooking. Legendary burger, amazing chips & creative desserts. Cozy vibes, great for sharing.
This modern British bistro, from the team behind Dame, offers a cozy yet special occasion-worthy atmosphere in Greenwich Village. It's celebrated for its nose-to-tail cooking philosophy, generous portions ideal for sharing, and creative twists on traditional English dishes. From the highly-praised Scotch egg and decadent crab & uni toast to their legendary limited-availability burger and exceptional 'proper English chips,' the menu is a hit. The desserts, like the apple and quince crumble or sticky toffee ice cream, are also a delightful end to the meal.
The food here is a modern take on British cuisine, with a strong emphasis on nose-to-tail cooking.

While most feedback is positive, the burger's limited availability can be a point of frustration for some.
