BABS: Dining | New York

Led by the former head chef of MIMI, the kitchen delivered French-Basque dishes characterized by rich, full flavors that skipped the heavy cream. Dinner often began with cocktails like the Mezcal Martini, though the room tended to draw a more 'sceny' crowd as the night progressed. While reviews generally highlight the charming, attentive service and European decor, experiences occasionally varied, including one report of an unsettling interaction.
