Editorial Review

Harbinger of a backlash against oversized spots that can't afford to ever take a risk? Pastry chef Jehangir Mehta parlays his experience with Jean Georges, Union Pacific, et al, into fascinating little flavor factory. Global small plates get bold with tastes of tumeric, cumin, and candied red chile. Pickled ginger scallops, pork dumplings with grapefruit confit, ingenious house sliders. Postage stamp of a space, decked with chandeliers and tchotchkes. Entire wine list just $25 a pop. Let the dinosaurs try and compete with that!
