Open since 2017, this stylish bistro remains one of the coolest reservations in town. Chef Patrick Kriss and his well-oiled restaurant group again demonstrate that they have the Midas touch. With the tasting menu-only ALO just upstairs, the team here is impressively polished in this diner setting. No wider than a train car, the cozy space offers satisfying, approachable dishes that look and taste far better than imagined. Iceberg wedges dressed in chive cream arrive under a mountain of puffed wild rice. A complimentary loaf of cheddar brioche wouldn’t be out of place on white tablecloth. Everyone wants the burger. And for dessert, there must be pie. The signature lemon meringue is a towering finale that will have you rolling out the door.
