Ms Helene: All the crudo, smoked salmon ricotta and chives crostini, freshly shucked oysters, Caesar salad, egg white frittata, breakfast potatoes and charred broccolini
Wesley Bliss: Renowned for their aged steaks, inconceivable chicken parm pie, and kale carbonara. Her the corn creme brulee, oysters, and some excellent cocktails too.
Ricky Gilbert: Wow - if you like QualityMeats you will like QI. Chicken parm is enormous but you already know this. Over order apps (including their chopped salad and eggplant) and sides (Corn Brûlée and Macaroni).

Justin Pulitzer: Try the Rice Pudding. It's homemade & phenomenal!
Kathy McGilvery: The best lamb chops, by far, in New York City!
Harvey Glover: Great Liver and bacon but why change extra for onions? $5 for a side of spinach is a bit excessive as well. However, this is the best (Irish) Sunday night comfort food on the way over east side.
