Profile

It’s a clumsy room. But just keep your head down and don’t stop eating—Bobby Flay’s mastery of the spicier things in life keeps getting more polished and exciting. Ribs, shrimp-and-corn tamale, cumin-crusted chicken, and pan-roasted rabbit are just sensational. Flay’s gonna rope you in, and leave you hog-tied and smiling. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Recommended Dishes

It seems like Bobby Flay is trying way too hard to create glorified bar food at this rip-off of an establishment. Its an insult to the other gourmet restaurants in New York City, and its obvious he's relying on the couch potato fans of the food network to be wowed with his quesadillas.... The wine list was sub-par as were the entrees. The bathroom was filthy and reminded me of the local Starbucks disgusting mess, and I'm certain I'll never go back to this or any of his other establishments again. If you decide to go to the tourist trap, prepare to be disappointed. I would recommend going to Orsay or Ruhlmanns for REAL gourmet food !
