"There’s a bit of a hermit crab situation going on with this place: Edan is a fancy Basque restaurant living inside the shell of a simple cafe. The result is a stunning dinner that feels—both in terms of price and formality—like something much more casual. If you don’t mind a rare piece of meat, order the $90 steak that can easily feed three people. Otherwise, we usually go for delicate dishes like smoked shiitake croquetas, tuna tartare surrounded by crispy shards of artichoke, and a basque cheesecake with a center that runs like it just called you a bad name.
