Profile

Popular since opening in 2005, Stanton Social knows the secret to Lower East Side popularity: Appeal to the transplanted A-listers without alienating the neighborhood’s scruffier long-timers. The posh first-floor dining room is a romance of dark wood with semicircular chocolate-suede banquettes, flickering votives, and cylindrical glass lamps suspended from a soaring ceiling; the upstairs lounge is a shrine to wine. Yet any hint of pretense vanishes once the food arrives. Chef-owner Chris Santos’s globe-spanning tapas menu is as quirky as it is nouveau. Some plates are delicate (tuna tartare in dainty phyllo; French-onion-soup dumplings); other choices are adamantly messy (Kobe-beef sliders; crunchy red-snapper tacos). The snack cakes for dessert include a bite-size version of the Twinkie and a cream-filled chocolate cupcake. Now isn’t that sweet? — Sarah Gold

Recommended Dishes

Nori spiced tuna tartare roll, $13; red snapper tacos, $10; Kobe beef slider, $7

The Special Events Manager was nasty and unhelpful when I tried to book a table for 10 people. This place is so over - and over-rated. I discourage anyone to go!

Stanton Social: a place dripping with superlatives to cover for its mediocrity and haute lack-of-culture. I think that each night, the entire staff gets psyched up with: "OK everyone, remember, we are HIP and COOL. And let's not...Read More
