"Exclusivity is sexy. Always has been, always will. And at Bottarga—a low-lit Greek spot in Chelsea—it feels impossible to get a reservation. Ergo, it is sexy. It’s an effortlessly cool spot, that’s got whatever ‘it’ is. And some of the dishes (cc: the lamb belly) need to be studied for their crisp-factor. Come with whoever. Bottarga’s the one bringing the sexy after all. For a same-week booking, call and ask for a table at the bar or the outside terrace. FYI, the terrace is covered, heated, and actually quite charming. Also, be open to a Monday dinner." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
