The Scene – A high and mighty air prevails at this dressed-up Lower East Side eatery. The soaring main dining room makes an impression with its high tin ceiling, soft rounded banquettes and small back balcony framed by the restaurant's wine selection. Servers hover one moment and vanish the next. – – The Food – The "fun" factor is high on the menu of experimental, multi-ethnic shared plates. Tender Kobe beef sliders, sweet chunky lobster rolls and mango-studded red snapper tacos look almost too cute to eat. And it'd be easy to become an oyster addict with the…

great food, good service
by Maggi28nyc at Citysearch
Loved the food, we go here after we shop down at the new Pilgrim store on Orchard Street. That is an amazing store and we love coming here for food and drinks afterwards.
The whole lower east side is really great and changing for the better.
- Pros: fresh organic food
- Cons: loud and noisy at times

It's slipping
by girlskoutNYC at Citysearch
This place used to be a favorite. From the mac n' cheese to the french onion soup dumplings, it was pretty impeccable high-end bar food. (The blood orange jalapeno margaritas totally turned me on to jalapeno-infused tequila.) But I went again recently and I think it's definitely in that phase that NYC restaurants go through when they've been open for a few years and they just don't have to try so hard anymore because there will always be some chooch and his girl --or, worse, all their friends--rolling up to eat here.
- Pros: Who doesn't love mini-food?
- Cons: the wannabe Euro-trash clientele

Great food, strong drinks
by MealSchpeal com at Citysearch
Nearly a decade slithered by since Dinner Bitch last complained about New York. It was the best of times and it was the worst of times. But now the time comes not to complain but compliment.
Before packing up for the jaunt home, we went to this little place in SoHo for a parting bite. The drinks were strong and the meal tasty which was pretty much what we expected since the bartender was an old friend from Japonais Chicago and the food was well-reviewed by others. The prices were right too. Ordinarily, this level of accomplishment is insufficient to provoke a strong opinion from anyone but the most devoted zealot. Save one item.
That first French Onion Soup Dumpling was the best thing to have ever oozed into my mouth. There, it exploded with a broth so flavorful my eyes rolled back into my pleasured skull and my nose lifted toward the ceiling in search of warmer air to suck over short-circuited taste-buds. It was amazing; as was the rest of it. But just like the second third and fourth orgasm of the evening, the later bites were mere refinements of the first.
If you inexplicably find yourself at 99 Stanton Street NY NY you should probably stop drinking so much but not before you order those French Onion Soup Dumplings and have a loud obnoxious tongue orgasm at the table.
- Pros: French Onion Soup Dumplings!
- Cons: I'll find one next time.

The Extras:
Travel up a separate front staircase to the delicate bar with small antique hand mirrors on the wall, a green tile-topped bar and low Japanese-style seating.
Know Before You Go:
Though it is right next to the happily divey Arlene's Grocery, the restaurant attracts a hip, well-heeled crowd. Dressing the part is recommended.
Save Money:
Do check your cocktail bill because the bar rounds up the amount to the nearest dollar---you can ask for your change.
