"Ardesia is a true Midtown utility spot. Meeting a date? Going out with a couple of work friends? Hanging out with a random relative? Wine and small plates in a non-cheesy environment help make this place exactly what you need. Factor in the wide-ranging menu, friendly service, and outdoor seating, and you’ve got yourself a go-to." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah, tiffany yannetta
