Shmoné (NYC)

  • Hot Jerusalem Bagel (olive oil & Za’atar)

  • Pan Seared Chanterelle, Maitake & Lion's Mane (lemon ricotta & toasted almonds)

  • Stretchy Stracciatella Pyrex Lasagna: one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had! Very surprising. A bit curiously priced, but given it’s enough for two people, I’d certainly order it again.

  • Charcoal Grilled Octopus (brothy cranberry beans): this was like eating a tender steak. Belonged mainly to someone else at the table, but the couple bites I got were delicious.

  • Olive Oil Panna Cotta (candied pine nuts, fresh Zaatar leaves)

  • Honey Cake (labneh cream, salty honey syrup)

  • The Red Sea (arak cocktail)

A somewhat under-appreciated restaurant. Everything we ordered was excellent; not one miss. Service was on the more casual side, but they were very friendly. And they threw in two free shots at the end!
