"The Show: Market Menu Ilis gets points for creativity. Instead of finishing off their dishes tableside, this Greenpoint restaurant encourages you to pick and choose your prix fixe courses by wheeling over a selection of the day’s raw ingredients: lobsters and crabs with their claws banded closed, hunks of venison, tumbling brussels sprouts, and foraged pine cones. It’s a spectacular display, and one that’s crucial to making the $225 meal feel relatively worth the spend. Get the most out of the experience by quizzing your server on the origins of each ingredient." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
