Editorial Review

E.V. magnates Grace and Jack Lamb abandon the cozy carriage house, downsize JLOB into sleeker, even crampier digs around the corner. Gourmets still herald tasting plates as right up there with best in town. And no worries about the butler/waiter, old-money vibe, that made the move as well. Narrow focus raw bar is super-fresh daily. Slashed prices make oysters six ways and lobster-knuckle chowder less precious, more delicious.
