Description




This Major Food Group venture occupies the former home of The Brasserie, a storied 1980s eatery known for its around-the-clock service and anything-can-happen atmosphere. The venue is notable as the first American restaurant designed by Peter Marino. The menu features sharing-style classics and drinks like a Japanese whiskey soba Old Fashioned. While the setting is glamorously laidback, guests frequently report stiff pricing and mixed results on dishes like the Wagyu sando and lobster dumplings, which some feel lack their defining flavors.
