"Colonie, a farm-to-table stalwart boasts a long inviting bar, a living wall of lush greenery, and an open kitchen from a trio of hospitality veterans: Emelie Kihlstrom, Elise Rosenberg, Tamer Hamawi (they also own Pips Wine bar next door). Chef Kone Sindou is doing vibrant dishes like sweet potatoes roasted to toffee levels of sweetness, dressed with preserved lemon, a swoop of labneh, sesame. An arctic char crudo bathes in coconut milk balanced against the heat of aji amarillo and the tartness of gooseberries and lime. Don’t sleep on the lump crab tagliatelle with serrano and artichoke or the braised caraflex cabbage served with tomatillos under an alabaster filet of halibut." - Eater Staff, Andrea Strong
