César Ramirez is one of a select few top-level chefs who can still be seen presiding over the stoves night after night. His downtown restaurant brings an understated modern look to a century-old address, and as might be expected, world-class seafood shipped from all over plays a large role in his tasting menu. Recent highlights include tender abalone in a delicate chawanmushi with truffle, ramp and hon-shimeji mushrooms, or lightly seared North Sea turbot and Spanish cuttlefish with spring peas. A masterful hand with sauces and careful handling of fish, shellfish and meat alike demonstrate a d
WebsiteNoz 17 is an elegant and inviting downtown sibling of the Upper East Side original.

WebsiteSettle in to your perch at one of the tables, or (preferably) at the engaging counter where you can watch each dish come together. If that doesn't have your taste buds tingling, the kitchen's concise number of unique items at a steal of a price will hit the spot. Persian cucumber kimchi with a spicy plum dressing, shiso and sesame seeds is a delight, while the aroma of pork bone broth that precedes the arrival of gochu ramyun brimming with curly noodles, bean sprouts and pickled cabbage is a veritable thesis on ace ingredients. Pyunche salad mingling sushi-grade amberjack is a simple yet delic
WebsiteCool and polished, this dining room bears that perfectly downtown nexus of low-key yet elegant; with its dark and light color scheme and intimate proportions. Chef/owner Mr. Yim Jung Sik and Executive Chef Daeik Kim's Korean meal starts like many do, with an array of banchan; however, the presentation here is unlike any other; and it's just that creativity that makes dining here so distinctive. From there, the tasting menu unfolds to reveals delights such as slivers of raw striped jack with white kimchi and chilled fish bone broth; gorgeously crisped octopus with gochujang aioli; and dry-aged

WebsiteKosaka offers a stellar omakase in an elegant setting. The dining room flaunts a classic Japanese sensibility—outfitted with a counter for 12, a few tables, soft piano music, as well as an attentive staff that enhance the overall experience. Some counters like to keep everyone in sync, but Chef Masatomo Soma embraces flexibility and heads this counter with confidence and skill. Technique is impressive, and the fish is minimally embellished, sometimes bearing a subtle surprise – say a shiso leaf hidden under a slice of rosy seabass or a dab of yuzu koshō under a piece of kinmedai from Chiba.
WebsiteChef Vijay Kumar runs the show at Semma, where regional south Indian cuisine is on full display. This is authentic Indian cooking that doesn’t pander to American expectations. One bite in and you’ll quickly learn that this cooking is all heart. Dishes are spicy, but the heat is used as elegantly as it is liberally. Start with the mulaikattiya thaniyam, the chef’s childhood snack of sprouted mung beans, coconut and smoked chili. The gunpowder dosa, a classic rice and lentil crepe filled with potato masala, is on every table for a reason, and the Dindigul biryani with tender goat and fragrant se
