Veritas - USA - New York - Restaurant - American - NYC - Food - dining - China - Flatiron


Fine wines--1,300 of them!--take center stage at this ultra-modern Flatiron restaurant. The 50-seat dining room is elegantly--if sparsely--appointed with rich leather banquettes, hand-blown glass vases, a wisp of greenery and small pastel prints. In all its sleekness, Veritas exudes a cool modernity. A striking stainless-steel-topped bar looms near the entryway; a substantial business crowd and an army of oenophiles fill the dining room, which is patrolled by no fewer than four sommeliers on any given night.



The Food

New American cuisine in the purest sense, drawing freely on an array of ingredients while taking a fundamentally classic and French-inspired approach to technique. Chef Scott Bryan's sharpest strengths are searing and roasting. He also has a knack for creating excellent stocks, which form the foundation for first-rate sauces. Bryan exhibits a light touch with seafood--his longtime signature dish, sauteed skate, shines.
