Editorial Review for Veritas – by Josh Ozersky
In Short
The 50-seat dining room is elegantly, if sparsely, appointed with rich leather banquettes, hand-blown glass vases, a wisp of greenery and small pastel prints. In all its sleekness, Veritas exudes a cool modernity. A striking stainless steel-topped bar looms near the entryway; a substantial business crowd and an army of oenophiles fill the dining room, which is patrolled by no fewer than four sommeliers on any given night. Robuchon veteran Gregory Pugin is the chef the restaurant has finally alighted upon to replace much-loved former tocque Scott Bryan; Pugin's distinctive style mixes his Basque roots with the French refinement he learned under his famous mentor, and the results have been well-received by the critics.

Insider Tips
When To GoThe restaurant has started a "Wine in the Afternoon" Program, with a small-plates menu and the full, massive wine list.
Know Before You GoWine-centric restaurants tend to be associated with the arts of seduction, but would-be lotharios would be well warned not to expect much in the way of romance in this sparse, narrow space, which is closer to a temple of wine and food.

Expensive but highly recommended. The food is very nicely prepared, top notch, perhaps portions could be slightly larger. The wine list is impressive, please review it before you go to the restaurant. I am very picky, but need to confess, this is a place run by professional people and I approve it.
Pros: Wine, food, service, etc.
Cons: Perhaps a little bit too pricey...

I Love food! I love to cook! I love to eat! And I can't tell you out of how many places I've had dinner at in New York, some with rave reviews, simply disappoint. Not so with Scott Bryant's fantastic restaurant. The food is simply amazing, you cannot and will never get anything that is not of the best quality here, not a salad, starter or special. The service is terrific, you don't have to be a power suit to get good service here. The prices are exactly what they should be, you are paying for the best ingredients and for the service of a great kitchen and front of the house staff but you never feel like you have been ripped off. Very much recommended.
