"A mix of ambition and energy with a Caribbean throughline defines this dining room, where chef Paul Carmichael channels his Barbados upbringing and international training (including years at Momofuku restaurant Sieobo in Sydney) into a $145 three-course prix fixe that reads like a personal narrative. Courses might be Jamaican pepper shrimp with hibiscus and Scotch bonnet jam or a breadfruit toston topped with octopus and sauce chien, all executed with intimacy and polish, and reflective of Momofuku’s ongoing command of the food‑vibe‑value trifecta." - Melissa McCart
