"Meroma, classy but relaxed, isn't Pujol , but it's just as thoughtful. The menu features seasonal vegetables from husband-and-wife chef duo Rodney Cusic and Mercedes Bernal. He's American but speaks fluent Spanish, she's from Mexico, and together they're great at sourcing stellar, local ingredients that shine in elegant, balanced dishes. There's a pleasing mix: oysters and fish, lamb and quail, and pastas that are hands down the best in the city. Don't miss the orecchiette with lamb merguez sausage and roasted broccoli." - Naomi Tomky, Scarlett Lindeman
