Channeling all the ease of an underground dinner party, Chef Phillip Foss invites guests into his literal home (he lives upstairs). There is but one seating, everyone is served at the same time, and people are encouraged to bring as much wine as they want. The warehouse space feels most like a test kitchen, and guests can wander about, explore the pantry, and practically stand next to the chefs as they cook and plate. The cuisine is creative, starting with a shrimp cocktail croquette with shrimp snow that must be licked off the plate. Maybe there’s a play on oysters Rockefeller or maybe there'

Ghin Khao
Thai · Bib

The name is Thai for “eat rice,” and you’ll want plenty of it to mop up every last bite of this kitchen's perfectly spicy, salty, sweet and tangy Northern Thai dishes. Operated by chef siblings, Nova and Kami Sasi, this is a fun, lively spot, with graffiti-like signage, hip-hop in the background, and colorful murals bedecking the walls. Every item is perfectly balanced, from the crunchy and subtly spiced fishcakes with cucumber-herb salad to the glorious nam khao tod, featuring crispy rice with ground chicken, pork skin, plenty of fresh ginger, cilantro and green onion.As a bonus, it’s also BY

This passion project of Chef Thai Dang and wife, Danielle, offers refined Vietnamese cuisine in a plum setting. The menu, divided into five sections, is filled with wonderful, lesser-known (and possibly unexpected) dishes you won’t want to miss. The restaurant offers many seating options: an open kitchen fringed with comfy seats; a bar area for cocktails and perhaps an order of those famous chicken wings; as well as two dining rooms, one with communal seating. Don’t leave without sampling the goi vit (duck salad), followed by ché, a Vietnamese rice pudding with coconut, sesame, and toasted pea

Ever
Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin
$$$$
Ever sits on a quiet stretch of Fulton Market, where Chef Curtis Duffy runs a world of his own making. Venetian plaster, subdued lighting and a minimalist design set the tone for a dramatic, carefully staged room, where tables are spaciously spaced and service is precisely choreographed. This attention to detail carries through to the cuisine, which is technically accomplished and visually refined. Dishes are thoughtfully constructed, often combining multiple elements and textures with a clear emphasis on structure and presentation. The cooking shows a high level of control, with compositions

Elske delivers a thoughtful, seasonally driven experience from Chefs David Posey and Anna Posey. The restaurant pairs a relaxed dining room with a charming patio, creating a calm and inviting setting. Guests may choose between a set tasting menu and an à la carte offering, both reflecting the kitchen’s ingredient-focused approach and subtle Danish influences. Dishes highlight vegetables, seafood and gently handled proteins. Items such as duck liver tart with salted ramp and composed vegetable dishes illustrate the kitchen’s style, where flavors are clean and thoughtfully layered without excess

Pleasant House Pub
Gastropub, English · Bib

Classic English pies may be the specialty of this house, but don’t let that inspire visions of chintz and tea cozies—the interior here is decidedly modern, with marble-topped tables and hand-crafted pottery. The crowds come for the pies, and for good reason—they’re fabulous. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the inside, hearty and satisfying. Dig into the steak and ale, with its beef stew filling and side of minty peas, gravy and mashed potatoes, and you’ll be hunting for every last crumb. The comfort food hits also keep on coming, from rarebit mac and cheese with Trooper Ale cheese sauce, t

Oriole

Guests enter this former warehouse through a converted freight elevator, a testament to Oriole’s unique brand of elegance, further exemplified by the striking ceiling collage above the spotless open kitchen. Chef Noah Sandoval and team execute a thoughtful tasting menu that blends French and Japanese elements. Small bites in the impressive bar are accompanied by a welcome drink, and might include a tartlet of Dungeness crab or Hokkaido uni. Then, a mouthwatering canapé of foie gras parfait with pickled strawberries is served overlooking the impressive open kitchen watching the kitchen team in
