'We strive to procure locally, organic when possible to make the freshest, great tasting 'simple food' utilizing our two stone ovens…' promises the restaurant's Facebook page. The team hasn't posted a menu online but it looks like a double-decker modern, rustic farm to table restaurant. Mark's Place, no phone.ĥ) Williamsburg: Cow & Clover, which calls itself a wood-fired kitchen, opened recently. There's a small outdoor seating area along the sidewalk. Each order comes with two 'add ons' like corn, potatoes, shrimp, mussels. Options include Atlantic red crab, Florida golden crab, and lobster. 544 Union Ave, 71.Ĥ) East Village: Just in time for the end of summer, Red & Gold Crab Shack opened serving a simple menu of crab boils, reports EV Grieve. There's also Stumptown coffee and pastries from Balthazar. Menu items include a kale and red quinoa salad, house-cured salmon, a balsamic blueberry and goat cheese sandwich, and rosewater flan, according to Brownstoner. Chloe81 Blue, 81 Ludlow Street, 21.ģ) Williamsburg: Husband and wife team Eldad and Inna Mashiach recently opened cute café Re.Union. The design and vibe is similar to downstairs but with an airy, lighter feel. The ground level of the building, now dubbed Chloe81 Blue, or just Blue, is a swanky oyster bar.

713 2nd Avenue, 21.Ģ) Lower East Side: Basement bar Chloe81 launched a new space upstairs last week. The menu is pan-Asian but the team describes it as 'power food, that gives you energy and nourishment.' There's seating for 100, including five seats at a sushi bar. I would definitely give Dim Sum Asian Bistro another try - I am not really wanting to write a negative review because the overall experience was good but the food didn't stand out.1) Murray Hill: Andy Yang of Rhong-Tiam and Pichet Ong, who previously worked for Jean-Georges, are opening Sachi Asian Bistro today. We ordered at least 10 items and the bill was about $60. On the other hand, the price is extremely reasonable. My only comparison is to dim sum places in San Francisco, and while this place is good, it falls far short of the SF experience. Sometimes I thought the texture wasn't good, other times the item was bland, and yet other times I thought there was too much bun ratio to filling. There were a few things I thought were quite good, a couple of items I didn't care for at all, and several that were fine, but I have had better versions of those. Even some of the items that I've had before I didn't think were done as well as they might be. We may not have ordered the right things, but we tried quite a few different items. It was also reassuring to see that more than half the customers were of Asian origin. And the servers were incredibly nice and friendly. They were pushing around carts with lots of dim sum offering, so it all felt authentic. It is a relatively small space, but the high ceiling makes the whole place quite airy. When I walked in, I was really pleasantly surprised. Moreĭim Sum Bistro is in the unassuming Greenwood Commons Shopping Center on Highway 55. I’m also not expecting Chinatown quality dim sum in places outside of large cities that don’t have a Chinatown. It was quick, and the variety was good, and overall things were tasty. Also, on the weekend, I usually expect a cart coming around, and that did not seem to happen, although they did have carts that they brought when your food arrived, so why not have them circulating? They have the little checkbox menus in place, so they could circulate the carts, and then just check off what you got easily.Īll that said, we will certainly come again. Although their menu looked extensive, there were still some things that I have ordered in past places that I did not see. They also did not have as many elements on the menu as other places. Sometimes, in other places, the dim sum arrives hot and steamy, and this did not seem to be the case here. I’ve had dim sum in lots of places, having lived in San Francisco and in Boston for many years, and overall this is good, but it did not feel like it was fabulous. We did have to flag somebody down for a second order, and although they did not tell us “no”, they certainly were not smiling about it. We came on a Saturday, and although it was very busy when we arrived, by the time we. I’m hearing what some of the other posters said below in not being allowed to order the second round, but that was not the case for us.
