Dame
place exceeds
This place exceeds my expectation. Never thought NYC fish and chips can taste better than London’s! Every single dishes are well balanced and tasty and even the darn bread tastes good. Service is great as well and despite small space, staff pay attention to details. We felt well cared for. I do think w the heat during summer, the restaurant can be closed off if the AC Is stronger. Due to close proximity to kitchen only suggestion is around Air con and temperature control for the restaurant.
fantastic pop-up
This is a fantastic pop-up with fish and chips (the fish light and airy, the chips crispy and fluffy), Pimm’s cups, Eton mess, and other British delights. It really feels like summer here at Dame! They also donate profits to different charities each week, and have a different pop-up within their pop-up every weekend, so there’s plenty of reasons to keep coming back!
batter cooking
Dame is a gorgeous restaurant with small and cozy vibes. From where we were sitting, we could see the kitchen and could smell the waft of the fish batter cooking.
We went with a group and got a few dishes to share. My favorites were the grilled oysters (you’ll want to have at least 2) which remind me of a seafood creme brulee and the squid skewers which came with scallion and a tasty green oil. We mopped that up with sourdough bread.
We also got the cabbage, and tuna.
best restaurant
Arguably the best restaurant in NYC. The team are perfectionists who execute flawlessly at presenting an amazing dining experience. The fish and chips are a staple; the lobster tart and the Eton mess were my other two favorites. Highly recommend eating here, and kudos to Ed and Patricia!
overly priced
Great vibes and place for drinks, overly priced though imo. I’d say the food is good but a bit too greasy, portions also very small and left my friends hungry. I think fish was cooked well with a nice beurre blanc sauce and endives, but again, I don’t think it’s work $90 for the technique and portion size.
