Profile

Chef-owner Todd English has a genius for artful, HungryMan dishes. He deftly stuffs his pastas with delectable fillings (like spring peas and sweet chestnuts) and slathers them with creamy cheeses. He molds cupolas of foie gras flan, builds pagodas of hanger steak, constructs pillboxes of tuna tartare with crunchy shrimps buried at the base. It’s easy to get carried away, but save room for thrombotic desserts like warm chocolate pudding cake. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Brunch

Sat-Sun, 8:30 a.m.–2:15 p.m.

Tasting Menu
Inspired by frequent ingredient-gathering trips through Union Square, the chefs here have instituted a Green Market Tasting Menu to highlight each week's premium finds. The three courses at lunch and five at dinner feature all sorts of ingredients you'd never buy on your own, like red and green Swiss chard, beets, and baby garlic.

Recommended Dishes

Yellowfin tuna tartare, $16; caramelized banana bread, $12

Recently took a trip to NYC - and this restaurant was on our list along with some other TOP restaurants. This is a very chic hotel and the restaurant is as well EXCEPT for their chairs. No complaints whatsoever with the food, it was actually great but we had to ask for new chairs and the server told us they didn't have any other chairs, instead he brought us "pillows." The server stated that alot of customers complain about the chairs. The only complaint I have, to be such a nice restaurant and the prices aren't exactly cheap, can't they afford a bit more comfy chairs !!!
