Editorial Review for Whym – by Kiri Tannenbaum
The Scene
Locals, well-suited colleagues, and third daters keep this chic retreat abuzz. The decor, with its chocolate lacquered tabletops, white birch floors and deep red accents, is upscale comfort, as is the menu. Smaller parties dominate the front, while larger parties sit at built-in booths, which are punctuated by whimsical rectangular disco chandeliers.
The Food
What makes the "sexy mushrooms" sexy? Aside from the menage a trois of shiitake, black trumpet and oyster, the facetious answer is the server. More arousing are the fried calamari which evoke a sweet heat from their overnight marinade of milk, honey and spicy harissa. Entrees run the gamut from a signature piping hot baked chicken sausage pot pie encrusted in an addictive cheesy biscuit to the delicate duck ravioli in Manchego cream sauce. Inventive desserts like pineapple pecan cake are not quite as impressive as the plate-licking warm chocolate souffle cake.

Have been here a few times, when it's been busy and quiet. At all times the staff are friendly and accommodating. The food has always been good with some creativity and interesting items-and worth the moderate price. Always have had an enjoyable eating experience, something I find hard to say about most restuarants.
Pros: Service and Food
Cons: Can get crowded at times
