Aubette Transform Into Fig 27

by popqueen

If you're looking for the dark, staid, woodsy Cafe Aubette on 27th Street, forget it. The boys from PS450 and Punch & Judy have swooped in and completely redone the place as only they can. Now a sleek, cool lounge with refreshing new color, lighting and surfaces, Fig 27 mirrors its around the corner sibling, PS450 with a yummy menu of small bites, great drinks and wonderful staff. The dead wood from Aubette is gone in more ways than one! You'll find classic PS450 dishes like the sliced steak atop creamed spinich on crunchy little toasts and new items like brie poppers on drizzled strawberry-infused sauce. So when the crowds at PS are just too much to take, head south a few blocks to this welcome addition to the hood. And yes, those hunky managers do make appearances!

Never Again!

by Sarah155552

What an awful night! Despite the cosy, relaxed ambience, the service was the worst I've ever experienced. What dreadfully rude & arrogant people - shocking!

• Pros: Ambience, Decor
• Cons: Rude, Arrogant, Shocking
