Don't be scared off when I tell you this is at the top of an organic local grocer. Led by renowned Chef Jason Tillman(Le Cirque, Union Square Cafe, The Strand Bistro) food coming out of this kitchen is of the highest quality. You pay top dollar, but this place focuses on natural, sustainable and organic food in a nicely appointed setting . If you are on a budget, grab a pizza and a salad. Both are the very high quality.
