Fodor's Expert Review Marlow & Sons

With its green-and-white-striped awning, you might easily mistake this buzzy bistro for an old-timey grocery store, but this is a wood-paneled dining room packed nightly with foodies for remarkable locavore cuisine. Part of the Andrew Tarlow empire, Marlow & Sons serves food that sounds simple until you take that first bite. Burrata with radishes, for example, emerges as a complex dish of melt-in-your-mouth cheese with thin slices of the root vegetable and a crunchy topping of golden raisin bread toasted with olive oil. The entrées are equally inspired, thanks to the chefs' creative use of fresh, seasonal ingredients. The must-do dessert, a salted chocolate caramel tart, represents decadence at its flawless best.
