"The Loyalist offers ambitious customers with moderate budgets (ones that don’t allow for, say, opulent tasting menus) a chance to experience the same attention to detail from decorated chefs John and Karen Urie Shields without breaking the bank. Located downstairs from their three-Michelin-star sister restaurant, Smyth, The Loyalist’s happy hour from 5 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday is also attractive for deal-seekers with $11 creative cocktails and a handful of snacky bites." - Lisa Shames
