Profile

This venue is closed.

After legitimizing hemp as a cooking ingredient at Galaxy, taking an Asian-tropical detour to Miami at Chow, and grilling Korean barbecue at Woo Lae Oak, chef Deborah Stanton (pictured, with partner David Oh) turns her attention to what she calls modern American comfort food. Mini meat loaf and pork chops are a given, but plundering the global larder for beer-battered fish and chips and a Cuban sandwich doesn't make her the least bit uncomfortable. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

I've been going to Deborah's for 4 years now. Whenever I'm in NY it's a must go for me. My first trip there I deferred to my waitress for her recommendations. I wasn't disappointed. Every course was amazing. I returned the following day and had to try something new. The food has been absolutely top notch and consistent for all the years I've been going. I live in Boston and recommend Deborah's to everyone I know visiting the city. Each and every one of them have agreed this restaurant is a must on every trip.

Similar to the show - sometimes you want to go.. where everybody knows your name... but the food is always GREAT. This is one of my favorite restaurants in NY -- and hands-down favorite for as the "go-to" restaurant when you need some comfort food (mac & cheese is EXCELLENT). Food for the price is the best around -- I've been a regular to Deborah for over 4 years and it's never let me down.
