The perfect meal for two: a box of skewers + prasini salad. Maybe a frappe if you need some caffeine!
You'll feel like you're in Greece once you step inside. The menu is mostly meats - I recommend the chicken and pork skewers. The pita they serve with any of the skewers is so good!
Standouts: the skewers - beef tenderloin, scallops, & pork belly; chicken liver & bacon fried rice (i find it's better than the bone marrow & oxtail tho I love both); and of course the raw seafood.
Sea scallops and miso butter skewers are incredible.
Wasn't in love with the sushi but pleasantly surprised by the oxtail and bone marrow fried rice, black cod and beef tenderloin skewers. Would come back just for that!
Fluke ceviche, short rib skewers, chicken tacos, ezquites, sassy señorita, smokin' maid, chocolate lava cake with mezcal
Tacos are great - and try the veggie one. Surprisingly good. And, of course, the margs are a must. Make a res if going for dinner.
Great for groups. Can get a little pricey for not a huge amount of food if you're drinking too. Excellent soundtrack and overall vibe
food is great here! try the lamb skewers and the handmade gnocchi with tiger shrimp. YUM.
You MUST try the seafood sausage. It's amazing alone, but the sauce really tops it off. A friend said the lamb skewers were really good too.
Kobe burger, sweet potato fries and excellent beers
The skewers and edemame bacon bowl ugh I love itt!
Amazing new bar in LES. Cocktails are a bit too sweet hut all of the sharing plates are delicious.
Tempura shrimp poppers! Also jalapeño calamari, fried chicken slider, waffles fries! Good hip hop. Open windows. Would come back.
This place is a once in a lifetime experience. If you want to try something special that you can't get anywhere else, this is the spot. The food is creative and delicious as is the beer and wine menu.

Amelia Lester on the Argentine steak house: “Go with someone who loves you: the steaks come with a head of roasted garlic on the side, and there’s more in the chorizo.” Read more.
Friendly service and great food in a beautiful space. Try the empanadas, ribeye steak and salmon crudo. You can get wine in a glass or carafe. Hidden gem!
Sushi Izakaya, 150 seats on the 2nd floor of the Thompson LES, where the Bromberg bros are doing an ambitious menu of sushi, Japanese appetizers, izakaya grub (skewers, grilled and roasted meats...) Read more.
Comfy beds. Good food & drinks. Great downtown location. Hip, but not inaccessible. Sam at the front desk is the bomb. Will definitely return.
There's always a Fellini film showing in the elevator!
Late night snack..pretzel was ok, chicken satay was 2 big skewers.
Great new restaurant in the les serving eclectic American food. Order the mangos on fire cocktail, char grilled oysters and best chicken saté you ever ate
Brunch was delicious! Also have a bloody Mary that I'm pretty sure is about to be famous.
Best Lychee martini in NYC. Happy hour is insane so get there early. And don't leave without trying the fried ginger wings!
Where I met @harryh for the first time (2005). It was a few mos before the dball/Goog deal went thru, but HarryH (a Goog eng) knew the deets & pitched me on wanting to work w/ us once we got to Goog.
Do a shot and live a little.
Mofongo with pork. Enough said. Don't forget the garlic on the side!
Cubanos for $4.50, enormous lunch specials for $5. Much better deal than that weekend streetwalker.
For those who think that half a chicken is the perfect late night drunk food
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
