"Dinner at this lush, leafy-wallpapered Indian restaurant is like picnicking in a meadow at dusk—if that meadow happened to serve excellent cocktails. All that atmosphere, plus big tables and comfy leather chairs, makes Passerine a good option for a special-feeling group dinner. Make sure you order the creamy, citrusy Kolhapuri lamb tartare with delicate fried shiso leaves and the cocoa husk ice cream sandwich." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick
