Fodor's Expert Review Semilla

If dining has become a lot like theater then consider this Off-Off-Broadway sensation in Williamsburg to be about as entertaining on the taste buds as they come. The director, or, um, chef here is Jose Ramirez-Ruiz and he subverts the dominant dining paradigm by pushing vegetables out to the center stage, and putting meat on the sidelines as supporting cast. The $85 prix-fixe menu changes nightly based on the chef's mood and the availability of ingredients, but if you can nab one of the 18 seats that surround the long, U-shaped table in the diminutive dining room, your palate is in store for one delicious show.
