MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

This "lounge" lets you time travel back to the swinging 60s. The space is comprised of cozy nooks, all meticulously curated with throwback flair, as well as a more traditional dining room upstairs. Note the cool couples in the alcoves, nibbling bites from groovy vintage metal tray tables. Earnest service keeps it all in check. The menu matches the mood; and cocktails, like those punch bowls, figure largely. While nostalgia peppers the carte, familiar-sounding items like broccolini casserole and porcupine meatballs have been reimagined with sparkling results—think lemongrass vinegar and mint aïoli. Can't decide thanks to one-too-many sips of the stirring stuff? Order the "Dinner Party Menu," which leaves you in the hands of this capable kitchen.
