Manhattan's most anticipated restaurant of 2026 officially opened its doors on Monday and immediately generated a three-month waitlist. The 60-seat establishment in the West Village features an open-fire cooking concept.
Chef Maria Santos, previously of a two-Michelin-starred establishment in Barcelona, brings her wood-fired techniques to a menu showcasing Hudson Valley produce and Atlantic seafood.
Critics who attended the soft opening praised the smoked duck with charred spring onions and the whole grilled branzino as standout dishes. Reservations are available only through the restaurant's website.
