The unassuming restaurant won a James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Northeast, yet it remains unstuffy. Much of the staff hails from Gramercy Tavern, so expect elegance but comfort in dishes like sake-poached Peconic Bay scallops and confit of pork belly. Don’t miss dessert: Claudia Fleming is a recipient of Beard’s coveted pastry chef of the year.
