Profile

When Saul Bolton and his wife Lisa opened the eponymous Saul in 1999, they were Smith Street pioneers. A decade later, they team up with chef turned restaurateur Ben Daitz, a Saul alum and co-owner of Num Pang sandwich shop, on a new venture situated on and named for another burgeoning restaurant row. As befits the current climates—culinary and financial both—the Vanderbilt is more casual than Saul, with lower prices ($4 to $18, for duck leg confit), and an emphasis on globally inspired small plates and classic and original cocktails. There is a smoker on the premises, and an array of charcuterie, from duck pate to house smoked kielbasa with simmered greens. The jerky is made in-house, and so are the warm spice doughnuts. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
