Chef Tom Colicchio's crowning achievement is destination-worthy for elemental, careful American cooking. There's a rough-hewn aspect to the decor, from the scruffed wood floors to the curving patchwork leather wall that swoops from the entrance to the dining area in the rear, where a civilized crowd of foodies and their dressed-up companions gather. An all-glass wine loft perched above adds drama. Service is professional and informed.
The Food
The menu is entirely a la carte and diners choose a cooking method--braising or roasting, for instance--and an ingredient, such as soft-shell crab or sweetbreads; each dish is then put in the center of the table to be shared. The kitchen's strength lies in its braised dishes, such as bone-in lamb shank and buttery ramps. Exceptionally fresh, high-quality ingredients elevate dishes like roasted hen of the wood mushrooms and a simple, innovative octopus terrine dotted with preserved lemon. Desserts are excellent, especially a near-perfect apple tarte Tatin.

Know Before You Go
The restaurant is often booked a month out, so reserve well in advance, or try the more casual menu at nearby Craftbar.
What to DrinkThe wine list features an extensive selection of domestic bottles and many full-flavored reds from Italy and France. One moderately priced choice is the Domaine du Vissoux gamay (2002), a smooth and drinkable wine from the Beaujolais region.
