"Transplanted from Montecito and Malibu to Soho, this intimate spot brings a Jazz Age-y muraled, date-night vibe that feels refreshingly inclusive. I started with oysters, a peaky-toe crab cocktail, house chips, and Jimmy’s Greek salad, and though I’m pescatarian I was impressed by the excellent salmon and the generous sides—onion rings, market vegetables, and creamed corn—while companions raved about the 10-oz Gene’s Filet. Don’t miss the martini service, where multiple servers shake or stir table-side in unison for a bit of theatrical flair." - Charlie Hobbs
