Profile

Midtown West’s luxury-apartment boom has done more than transform the once tenement-lined side streets of Hell’s Kitchen. It’s paved the way for sleek new watering holes like Ardesia, the wine bar on the ground floor of the LEED-certified Archstone Clinton complex. There’s a 30-seat patio, a banquette-lined lounge, and a Venetian-marble bar backed by a two-story wine wall. The list emphasizes “mineral-driven” bottles expressive of terroir, with a by-the-glass selection ranging from a $7 Tramin Lagrein to a $16 Vranken Demoiselle Champagne. To accompany them, chef Amorette Casaus, late of El Quinto Pino, offers light bites like Indian-summer pickled vegetables, squash crostini, and a house-cured-and-smoked pastrami sandwich served on Sullivan St Bakery’s stecca bread. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

This place is drop dead gorgeous. Very much a bar when you walk in, its got tons of steel (literally, in the form of a catwalk and a 2 story winewall) and slate, yet it manages to be really warm and inviting. There's also a super-plush and cozy lounge to the side where we sat and barely noticed 3 hours going by! And the wine list is awesome. Not huge, but covers most bases and has some really quirky and interesting stuff that seemed fairly priced. With cool staff and a pretty solid snacky food menu, I'm delighted they picked my neighborhood to set up shop.
