Profile

When you think about Wall Street's old Anglicized private dining clubs—not that you ever do—you probably don’t think caviar sliders. The phrase "cozy yet sleek" does not spring to mind. Nor does the thought of talking hot stocks over an "imaginative cocktail." None of this, however, has stopped the owners and publicists behind the Libertine, the posh duplex bar and restaurant opening this week at the new Gild Hall hotel. Part Thomas Crown chess den, part gastropub, the leather-and-mahogany-bedecked Libertine is designed to evoke a swinging seventies-era London clubhouse, according to the press materials. To that end, executive chef Todd English has concocted a menu of vaguely British-inspired comfort food given his signature layers-of-flavors treatment—including the aforementioned sliders, which come festooned with quail eggs and crème fraîche, a "Kobe" dog, and a rack of lamb with a Moroccan shepherd's pie. For breakfast, there's the "NY Bene"—the improbable marriage of a pastrami sandwich with a plate of eggs Benedict.

I can't say what kind of place this is, but it can be what you make of it. My husband and I were looking for an afterwork bar or restaurant that was both relaxed and had good food. We found great food, great service, and a fancier than usual setting. It was exactly what we wanted but we ordered too much food. It was just a bit hard to resist some of the tantalizing and interesting items. Even the sides were amazing, especially the brussel sprouts with wild mushrooms. I'm planning to go back for lunch!

Amazing food in a very nice decor

We went there a few days ago. While the restaurant was still in "pre-opening" mode ( a few glitches in the service), I have to say I was very nicely surprise by the food. The interior could definitely be featured in a Wallpaper Issue, Modern yet cozy (and the actual lobby of the Thompson hotel is a nice complement to the restaurant itself) I would have imagined this place to be more in MePa / Union Square...well it seems like the Financial District is really happening these days. Highly recommended!
