"In the formal space, the Dining Room debuts a 12- to 15-course, $155 tasting menu meant to evoke the feel of a dinner party and to test McGarry’s prodigy status; I see the menu opens with his signature take on a Ritz cracker sandwich with foie gras, peanuts, and sour cherry, and includes subsequent courses such as a slow-roasted sunchoke with seaweed, pumpkin seed oil, and apples plated like a fall wreath, a winter squash topped with pumpkin seeds accompanied by kogi and lime, plus a family-style course (pasta) before dessert — service is limited to two seatings of 18 people (reservations taken), with service running Tuesday through Saturday at 6 p.m. and 9 p.m." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
