In Short
After a few changes of the guard, original chef Neil Annis is back in the kitchen, providing innovative American cuisine to the uptown epicurean crowd. Though you'd never guess from the ordinary facade, a sizeable space awaits with multiple private nooks. The handsome interior combines glass and natural elements creating a contemporary museum atmosphere. The menu, equally artistic, includes confit of pork belly, crispy skate, olive oil-poached lobster and a salty sweet hazelnut and potato-chip gateau.

We went in for dinner after reading about their "lobster special" in the NY Times - a grilled 3 lb lobster is $39.It was more than we expected. My friend had the prix-fixe menu for $35 which is an amazing deal, and I had an apple and endive salad and the lobster. Everything was delicious, we received our food in a timely fashion,our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. It was great to see that the restaurant was full during such tenuous times...Good for them, I will be going back soon ! PS: They will be running the lobster special throughout February. Great deal !!!
