"Crown Shy is the best new restaurant of 2019. And it’s one of the few places we’d confidently send you without feeling the need to explain ourselves. Now allow us to explain ourselves. No matter what you order at this American spot in FiDi, it’s either going to be the best version in the city, like the house bread and the grilled chicken, or pretty damn close. And unlike most other upscale places serving similarly fantastic food, this isn’t just a special occasion restaurant. It is that - the landmarked Art Deco space is impressive enough for anniversaries or dinner with your boss’s boss - but casual servers, affordable wine, and a walk-in-only bar area keep it from feeling stuffy. Crown Shy works for just about any dining situation, and it’s an ideal option for all of them." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
