Chefs Mitchell and Steven Rosenthal, long linked with Union Square's famed Postrio, are the brains behind this way station for the city's powerbrokers and their acolytes. The fare is New American—roasted veal meatballs, slow-roasted duck with gingersnap gravy; rib-eye steak with spicy creamed corn; cedar-planked salmon; butterscotch and chocolate pots de crème—with plenty of variety to satisfy nearly everyone. The converted-warehouse space, with dark-wood floors, exposed brick walls, white wainscoting, and contemporary art, comfortably blends old with new. You can cool your heels with a cocktail on the heated patio while you wait for your table. Locals travel across town for the lobster roll that occasionally turns up on the lunch menu.

had looked forward to this but was very disapointed. Probably the noisest dining room I've experienced, could only speak to the person next to you without yelling. Food was good but not special for the top restaurants in the city at this price range. Won't return.
