131 Sullivan St

Warm, candlelit atmosphere, very good food, and nice drinks. And we could talk--it wasn't super loud. I would highly recommend it.

Last minute reservation on a weekend vacation The wine list was good but limited and a little expensive Our waiter Ivan was awesome

Fun menu, good service and a cool atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. Loads of outdoor seating but I liked the indoor vibe.

Was looking for a location to grab a quick bite and chat for a bit. We stopped at this location. The inside of the location is very nice. When we got there not that many people were there as of yet. As it got later into the night, the crowd did pick up. Our waitress was very attentive and always checking in to see if everything was good. We noticed that on the menu the hot chicken was served with biscuits and inquired if we could just get the biscuits. We could so we put in an order of those and the smoked ricotta ravioli. Delicious! Biscuits were buttery and smothered in honey yum! Also not sure how they were able to capture the smokiness but it was amazing. It is on the pricey side I will say. Not a every night place (well for me lol). But definitely a place to pop in and treat yo self!!

This restaurant is an all around homerun - from the attentive and friendly service, charming decor heightened for the holidays, to the delicious food! The calamari was lightly fried and perfectly crispy accompanied by a refreshing tangy slaw, the fries were superbly thin and crispy, the wagyu burger with melted cheese, caramelized onions, and special sauce was so tender and flavorful. (Note that the fries do not accompany the burger dish and must be ordered separately.)

This is one of my favorite go-to places while shopping in SoHo. In the winter it feels especially cozy and welcoming. Service and food are great (most recently Reed was really exceptional). Always a good selection Of oysters. And plenty of Gluten Free options and they are accommodating of my gluten allergy.

Came here on a girls NY trip from SD. met some friends for lunch/brunch. Started with their signature Bloody Caesar. It was yummy and came in a cool glass. Also ordered the burger and my friends each ordered the breakfast sandwich and we all shared the fries. Everything was great. The atmosphere, the food, the setting. I would highly recommend.

Amazing spot for brunch with a large group of girls! Food was very good and on the heavier side. Everything was great. Cocktails and mocktails also really fun. The Espresso martini glass had me the moment I saw it. Service very quick as we had a movie to see after.

Amazing tuna carpaccio. Great service. Warm And inviting atmosphere! Everyone enjoyed their meal.

Great food and locale! The staff really make this place. Our server Allie was amazing. Can't wait to return to NYC to visit again.

In the heart of Soho, this adorable restaurant serves American cuisine and oysters, and very kids friendly. I had the Bloody Mary oysters for $12 that came with 2 small oysters which was quite unsatisfying. Fried chicken was yummy. Great service! Nice and responsive staff. No complaints. I liked the ambiance. Good for date night or family dinner.

Solid food but pretty high prices that I'm not sure I would pay again. We started with the crab deviled eggs ($18 for a half dozen) and scallion-chipotle cornbread ($9). The deviled eggs were excellent- they had generous portions of crab and were each topped with a sliced jalapeño that added a nice little kick of heat. The cornbread was also good, although the scallion and chipotle flavors were pretty mild, and the portion was very small. It came with a fluffy salted butter that was excellent. It would've been nice if it had come out warm so that the butter could melt on top, and it was a little odd that it was served in a skillet but wasn't cooked in one (it was a small loaf). Our mains were the Southern style eggs benedict ($31) and the breakfast sandwich ($25). Honestly, part of my order was curiosity as I've never seen a breakfast sandwich that expensive. However, I have to say it was worth it- it's a generous size (the sausage patty on its own is large) and very flavorful. It came on a honey butter biscuit and was so tall that it was pretty hard to eat, but I really enjoyed it. The only thing that would've made it perfect was a jam, jelly, or sauce as the sandwich was a bit dry on the biscuit. It also came with a side of potatoes that wasn't listed on the menu (nice surprise!), which were drizzled with aioli and topped with Parmesan. The eggs benedict were good, but came with one slice of country ham- this isn't a pricey meat and it kind of felt like a little more should've been included. We also ordered mimosas, which weren't on the menu- we didn't ask but were pretty surprised to see on the check that they were $18 each. It's in line with the rest of the cocktails on the menu but more than I've ever paid for a mimosa at brunch, and the orange juice was not fresh squeezed (which I don't usually mind, but think it probably should be for that price). We sat outside in their streatery, which was really cute and comfortable. Service was a bit spotty, we had a very hard time finding our waiter after we put our orders in.

Good food. Service was quick. I had the burger and family had shrimp salads. It's pricey.

Food and service were amazing. Signature fried chicken is highly recommended and worth trying!

Been several times but not at the holidays. Bustling. So much fun! Solid experience APlus!!!! Bar lovely, food great, service awesome. Go!

We came here for a prefix thanksgiving dinner and it was packed. After waiting for about 15 minutes, we were then led to the dining room at the back of the house, which was definitely better in my opinion. The service while we waited by the bar was lacking, but this changed once we were sat. Our table was so cozy, by the fireplace, probably the best seat in the house. Ryan our server was on top of business, making sure we had everything we needed. Dishes were scrumptious and the portions were large! I mean it's thanksgiving right? This we really appreciated. We started off with the turkey wings and oysters. the wings were delicious, and well made, I just wish it had a punch of spicy in it, however it was still juicy. The portions were so big, we were already getting full before the mains appeared. Big shout out to the Chef Jonathan, and our server Ryan we had an awesome time

Venturing into a classy joint like this as a solo diner meant sitting at the bar, but at least there were three different kinds of bars, and my windowside location must have been considered a decent spot since a nearby setting said "reserved." This was my Ramp Season Finale, so I opted for the Ora King Salmon primarily for this briefly available bulb. The menu was into the brevity thing and didn't detail the excellent sauce. Might have some secret ingredients. The fish was outstanding, converting this salmon agnostic. The sugar snaps were so fresh one wonders if they were harvested that morning in Washington Square Park. Enjoyed talking to Cooper about other menu highlights; he definitely made a good case for the pasta and Wagyu burger even if Soho wouldn't normally be my first stop for such things.

Came in for brunch on a Sunday without reservations. I was seated solo promptly. There were plenty of seat options inside and a few outside. The customer service was great. The brunch menu was limited and over priced. I ordered the blueberry flapjacks. They were okay. I also had a cappuccino which was not that great, I didn't finish it. I would come back to try other things on the menu but I would probably try other places in the area before doing so.

Love the ambiance of this place, I think it's a great resutrant to come for drinks. The service was good, our waitress was really nice. the first time I came here their famous fried chicken was so good. Came back last night and it wasn't as breathtaking but still pretty good. I ordered the hanger steak which I didn't love. It wasn't bad, just not my favorite. I love kimchi but I didn't like the combination of it with the seasoning of the hanger steak. We tried the crab deviled eggs which were definetly interesting. I probably wouldn't get them again but they weren't bad! Great location too

Had dinner here on a Sunday evening. Was pretty large on the inside, we were seated immediately and I got a cocktail while my guest had some wine. We started with the scallion chipotle cornbread which was good cornbread but definitely didnt have any chipotle flavor and only slight scallion. I got the filet and my guest got the salmon, both were really good and we shared a side of fries that I literally could not stop eating. Would definitely be back when in the area.

Weak but tasty drinks. Food was excellent. I got the chicken, she got the burger and my friend got the hangar steak. Oysters were delicious. Shrimp was mediocre. Staff was amazing.

October 15th review. I'm not sure what's going on here. My boyfriend and I live nearby and have been regulars for years. We've enjoyed pre-dinner drinks, brought family and friends, and often had dinner at the bar. It was a reliable local spot for us. Recently, my boyfriend mentioned that the bar staff seemed new during his last few visits, and the martinis were noticeably worse. I was skeptical, but we decided to bring friends along tonight to see for ourselves. Unfortunately, the experience confirmed his concerns. The espresso martinis were almost undrinkable--overly strong and poorly made. Beyond that, there were other concerning issues. A group of five at the bar appeared to be over-served, with one individual very visibly intoxicated.This behavior felt out of place for a restaurant setting. Then, our friends' credit card went missing. We observed three staff members searching for it, only to retrieve it from another table. After a long wait, the manager informed us that our friends' card had been mistakenly charged for another party's tab, which would take three days to clear. There was no clear explanation of the amount charged, no apology, and no attempt to offer a courtesy for the inconvenience. Before the manager claims we were disrespectful, let me clarify: not once were we rude or out of line. We simply expressed that the situation was unacceptable and deeply disappointing. When we calmly voiced our frustration, the manager responded by slamming his hand on the bar and saying, "Fine, it's on us." His behavior felt unnecessarily aggressive, particularly toward two female patrons. It's disappointing to see how much the atmosphere and service have declined. The previous team always provided a wonderful experience, but this latest visit has left us questioning whether we'll return

Sunday brunch paat 2pm. Staff is friendly and super accommodating with our stroller (kid was sleeping in it) Good aervice and food came pretty fast We had deviled eggs, eggplant dip, burger and eggs benedict Eggs were pretty good! Very soft The dip was okay, the crackers had too much seasoning Husband liked the burger and fries were perfectly cooked, super crunchy! Now, eggs benny were a bit too much. First, overpriced for just the two eggs, no side, nothing. The sauce had a too strong flavor that pretty much ate away the rest of the dish, ham not noticeable. You could only taste the sauce which also had too much black pepper (and I am a peppercorn lover) and it was salty. Def do not get this one. Place and ambiance super cute.

Service was great. Our guys took care of us, when I told him my pancakes were cold he gave us another order without hesitation. Food was delicious the nightly recommend the Lobster Frittata, only thing I would suggest is not too much sauce. Other than that was delicious! The honey butter biscuits are too good. You don't need anything with it, but of course I still put butter and jam... cuz I'm me...lol. My friend had the chicken and he said it was well seasoned. My other friend had the burger. She asked for it to be medium and they brought it out well done... ‍ She said it probably would have been good if it wasn't overcooked. Loved that they had coat/hat racks near your table as well. Very nice and clean place. *Getting the Flapjacks is a must!!! I preferred it without the blueberries with just syrup, my friend loved it with the blueberries. Whatever your preference is, but get it!

The Dutch is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. The food is always top tier -- a diverse and exciting menu of Classic American staples -- where you can almost never go wrong with your order. The interior is reminiscent of that feeling you get when you escape those wintery gusty winds and find shelter in an old New England seaport tavern. It's met with SoHo's traditional high ceilings and exposed brick, a soulful staff, and buzzing energy of old friends catching up over dinner before the holidays, a special family occasion, or just a local beer waiting for you at the island bar placed in the middle of it all. That is why my most recent visit was all the more saddening. When my long-awaited dinner with three buddy's finally came, we found ourselves waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting for any of our food to come out. Appetizers did not come out for what felt like an hour, and even then, only half of what we ordered came. Then another 30 minutes for the remaining appetizers, followed by similar wait times for our entrees. The dinner took 3:30hrs, far longer than what we expected from a restaurant that knows it services busy lives. The staff was apologetic, but this did not do much to calm our disappointment. To top it off, all four of us walked out of the restaurant holding our stomachs. It must have been something we ate (the beef tartare did taste a bit off). Nevertheless, I do really hope that this was a one-night hiccup, and not the early warning signs of ineffective restaurant management and consequently the downfall of one of SoHo's greats. I do recommend going to the Dutch, however, when you do I ask that if your experience was any similar to mine, do provide them with feedback. It is my hope, then, that they turn this ship around. Side note: as a beer geek -- I tried the pilsner on draft, it was terrible. I would switch it out for a SixPoint Crisp or Talea Al Dente. Instead I stuck to the 'gansett, which is a commendable choice to have on draft.

I recently enjoyed a delicious visit to The Dutch in SoHo. Their enormous plate of skinny fries were crispy and addictive, perfect for sharing. And the strawberry rhubarb pie? Sweet and tangy perfection in every bite. With friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, The Dutch is a must-visit for a tasty brunch in soho.

A gem in SoHo! Great ambience for date night or my family dinner tonight. Oysters Rockefeller-A. Small but very tasty. Garlic buttery and crusty parmesan cheesy! Fried chicken-A- Worth the trip! Four crunchy juicy and deliciously seasoned pieces. The biscuits were really good too. Steak, kimchi fried rice-A. Very tender and flavorful steak. The fried rice with the egg was an amazing compliment to the steak. Sea Bass-C. It may have been a great dish if the steak and chicken weren't on the table. But comparatively it was blah. Came with mussels that looked like little ornaments decorating the plate, not much to eat. Super service and great cocktails. More a 4.5 than a 4 but not 5stars. I suggest reservations, because we arrived around 6p and was seated right away but within 30min there was a full dining room and a line at the door.

Great service and always fantastic food. I was sad to see the short ribs were missing from the menu, however, that did not deter from the always perfect experience at the Dutch. Highly recommended!

The Dutch is wonderfully located downtown in Soho I've been here several times, but most recently was over the summer. I sat outside with a friend and got the fried chicken and biscuits. I definitely recommend it for a nice sit down dinner. I also got a cocktail, which I would probably skip next time. I also came here for a friends birthday party where she rented out the back room and we had a huge dinner, served family style and open bar. It was probably one of the best parties I went to at a restaurant in the city. The servers were great, and the bartender was really nice.

This place definitely had an inviting ambiance. It was quite busy, so highly recommend making a reservation. We had no issue making one for the following day, despite having 6 in our party. We started off with a bottle of rosé and a couple orders of the scallion chipotle cornbread. The cornbread came out in a tiny cast iron, which I love, but was slightly dry. The butter helped, but you had to lather it on. We ordered various entrees; the hot fried chicken with honey biscuits, the smoked ricotta ravioli, and a couple burgers. The fried chicken had an incredibly crunchy exterior; you could hear them bite into it a mile away. However, I wish it had just a tad more seasoning. The slaw was fine, but could've had a little more citrus to brighten it up. The honey biscuits though were the best part about that dish. The smoked ricotta ravioli with "moon drop grapes" was phenomenal. I wasn't sure exactly what those grapes were, but it paired extremely well with the sauce. I would return and specifically order this dish again. The burger and fries were fine, nothing unusually great, but good. Overall, the environment was pleasant, the ravioli was a hit, and they had plenty of wine selections, though only one rosé. If you're in the neighborhood or looking for a new place to try, this might be worth a visit. The service was great. Overall, I'd rate this place a 3.5, but no half stars, so a 4 it is.

We had a suboptimal experience at The Dutch tonight redeemed by our dessert course. We arrived at 6:45 for a 7 pm reservation and were seated right away. The evening started off well right away with delicious appetizers- a waldolf salad and a spicy watermelon salad. Unfortuantely it took 50 minutes from when we received our appetizers to get our entrees. After we received our entrees, the waiter disappeared again. Leaving us to stare at our plates for 20 minutes. We did ask to speak to a rather ambivalent manager. For $60 per person restaurant week meals, I woild go elsewhere! Or stick with appetizers and leave. Burger and salmon entrees were underwhelming. I feel sad for the yelp reviewer who called this the best burger he's had in NYC. Expand your horizons lol Lets see if the dessert course will be a redemption or defeat! Okay the dessert course was *really* good Everyone at our table had a different favorite. Dad's favorite was the sour cherry pie My sister's favorite was the chocolate pudding pie and my favorite was the coconut cake! Mom couldn't choose between the chocolate pudding pie and the coconut cake

Food was yummy in a cozy / slightly crowded dining space. Service was ok- felt like a lot of ppl were working but aren't actually doing anything? Got the breakfast sandwich it was yummy, perfect texture and love the scrambled egg that reminded me of tomago. $19. I thought it was a bit overpriced for such a small sandwich. The chocolate dessert was to die for!

I went to the Dutch (3rd visit) with my wife and 2 daughters. The service was very bad 1*. Approximately 50 minutes between courses. Our waiter also disappeared. Eventually, Tiago, the manager stepped in. Food: 5* for most dishes. The salmon was not good. We were not asked how it should be prepared - it was very rare, and it was served on a very tasteless bed of tabouleh. The other dishes were very well done. The salads - both the heirloom watermelon and waldorf salads were great. The cherry pie was also great. The tea chicken seemed a tad undercooked. Nice ambiance- outdoors on side street in the Village

I visited Dutch around 12:30pm on a Wednesday, and there was a lot of seating during lunchtime. I enjoyed the Mushroom Risotto as it was my first time having it. I was also a fan of the cornbread. Even though it has jalapeno, it was not spicy and had the right crumbliness that cornbread usually had. It is a bit overpriced for what they offer.

Good food. The salmon was cooked very well. The service was below lackluster considering the neighborhood and price point, I certainly expected more of a contained and organized flow of operations. Instead, we were greeted by a different staff member almost every 5 minutes, for no apparent rhyme or reason. They even had at least two different managers swing by our table when we had no complaints or reason to be visited. I think in total at least 5 or 6 different staff members dropped by our table. Our waitress also came by twice to try and place an order while my mother in law was obviously gone using the restroom for a very short amount of time. We felt unnecessarily rushed out and overly watched while we did nothing unusual to attract attention. It was extremely uncomfortable and disorienting and certainly not respectable service. The hostess also wasn't able to charge my phone. That should be a given at any restaurant that someone may need to charge their phone and not have a charger on them while they're out to eat. Overall the ambiance was pleasant but the service didn't match the tranquil interior. The service was disorienting and overbearing and certainly not up to standard for an establishment of this caliber.

I had fantastic meal at the Dutch. First the team were welcoming, warm and very hospitable. And the food was absolutely excellent. From the prince platter as a starter to the handcrafted pasta and the perfectly cooked steak... everything was made and served with excellence. And of course the cocktails and ambience were just right!

Danny the bartender is amazing and the most patient. I would come back to the Dutch just for him!' He made the drinks so meticulously. We came in for a drink and stayed the night! Best bar in soho!

Wonderful place! I've been to the Dutch a fee times before and they definitely deserve a top review. It's a very "New York" place, classic city brunch experience. I've been here before for a brunch and dinners. It never disappoints! For such a busy restaurant their customer service is the best! I visited today for another brunch, made the reservation for outdoor area and we were seated right away. Shortly after we realized the sun was burning us so I asked the manager if they could sit us elsewhere and they honored our request right away and made a better table for us. I can't tell you enough about the food there, while the brunch menu is not extensive, it still offers all the best options. Food is delicious! Definitely try the scrambled eggs with salmon, biscuits and the avo toast! Coffee is the best! Ambiance is awesome and staff very friendly. They also have plenty of seating available indoor and outdoors. Love the Dutch!

One of my all time favorite restaurants. The chicken and biscuits are amazing. Seriously good biscuits. Great French 75 aswell. No notes, just all good. Oh also great atmosphere.

Great place for brunch, plenty of options for the whole group from eggs Benedict to kimchi fried rice w steak to a breakfast sandwich to fried chicken.

Ambiance: really chic spot with a lot of spaces to sit. Downstairs by the bathrooms they have even more areas. Service: it was fine. Food: ordered the calamari salad situation, I really enjoyed it. Don't use the lime, doesn't need it. We also got the hanger steak and the fried chicken. Good portions, good flavor, liked the calamari the best though. Oysters seemed overpriced.

Came here for brunch on Sunday and had been once before but this time was even better then I had remembered. The food was so so beyond good across the board. The portions are most definitely on the larger side so I would recommend sharing. Everything came in a timely manner and the coffee was good as well. The seating was also great and felt lively all throughout the restaurant, we sat in the back and it wasn't any different. The service was good, nothing too notable. It was also priced correctly for the size of the dishes, the total was less than expected. Will definitely be returning!

The Dutch has long been a SoHo go-to for me, For this visit to NYC, I was actually staying in an Airbnb on the same block, so The Dutch was the site for my first dinner in town. The place is part of restaurateur Andrew Carmellini's empire. I've also been to his Lafayette a few times. The western part of SoHo is filled with restaurants, most on the small side. The Dutch is 2-3 times larger than other adjacent eateries. They are known for their hot fried chicken, so that is what I ordered (again). It's half a chicken served with delish honey butter biscuits and a tangy slaw with a kick from jalapenos. The artichokes and burrata appetizer was a refreshing spring start to the meal. Cherry pie a la mode for dessert. Solid as usual.

Bland boring food. Slow but friendly service. Had fries (fake crispy and cold) and lobster frittata. Knew from the smell immediately a mistake had been made. Smelly fishy rubber lobster and smelly even more rubbery burnt eggs covered in wilted fishy smelling greens. A total fail. No one asked if we enjoyed anything. Took 20 minutes to collect our cash after the check came and they had the audacity to expect no change would be needed with a hundred on a $70 bill. For just what I listed. Fries and frittata and coffee. $70!!!! Spoilt junk AVOID AVOID AVOID

GREAT espresso martini. Staff was kind. My friend and I both got lobster dishes. I got sick. She didn't. Do with that what you will!

Came here for brunch over the weekend at 11am and sat on the patio. The service and the food were both great. You are obviously paying higher prices for being in SoHo, but that doesn't bother me if the service and food match the higher price. We ordered to begin with the banana foster doughnut which was really good and fresh, definitely not your typical regular donut. Filled with banana cream inside. Also, get an order of the biscuits for your table. You won't regret it. Warm and flakey and the butter and jam that come with it are amazing. To drink we had this spiced pear drink ($18) which was good but a little weak. I would skip this next time. I opted for their double cheeseburger with fries and the burger was probably one of the must juicy, flavorful burgers I've tried. They definitely have a good secret sauce they use and it had a nice kick it to it. I highly recommend this to any burger lovers out there. The fries were very skinny and was not that impressed. Others in my party had the smoked salmon bagel, avocado Milanese and cornmeal flapjacks. Everything we ate tasted so good and the service was amazing. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a nice brunch at a beautiful restaurant. Just be prepared to spend some money as brunch with 3 adults w/drinks + 1 baby was $190 + tip. They also take reservations which is an added plus!

Very Mid. They didn't have an GF options! Nothing at all! Just fruit and the people who don't eat GF said it was kinda boring so I wouldn't recommend going here.

This was my first visit to the Dutch. It wasn't a good one sadly . I understand how restaurants are but the level of attentiveness was mediocre. The food was subpar. The burger wasn't cooked at the right temperature and lacked flavor . The watermelon salad was soggy as if the fruits were passed due. The host also lied to us and said there were no outside seating available when there were multiple available. The ambiance was very loud as expected . Seemed like the place to be just not for me

I had a near perfect meal at The Dutch. Interested? Please keep reading. The clock struck midnight on the 2 pillows of Zyn in my mouth as I exited Dassidou's Uber (X) at 8:00pm. He gave me the knowing nod, meaning I landed at the right spot OR he needed me to get the heck (we'll try to keep this PG) out of his white minivan. I assumed the former. Since I frequent NYC once every 17 years, numerous friends tried to steer me in the right direction for dinner tonight, knowing that if left to my own devices, I'd have an "authentic" slice of pie at Sbarro. A good friend told me to give The Dutch a try, and seeing as my favorite child (wink) is a 70 lb. dog named Dutch, I was game. As I entered the dimly lit restaurant, solo without my wife, god bless her soul (no, I'm not a widower . . . she just didn't get to join me on this work trip), the hostess gave me a once over and upon seeing my orthotic grey New Balances, ushered me to the far corner of the bar - aka "The Dad Zone." Smart move on her part. My only objective for the evening was to eat a good meal and catch up on my "stories," consisting of whatever the DrudgeReport and perhaps even Barstool had to offer. The service from the get go was top notch. I'm just a country boy from South Highland Park (Texas, not Chicago), and the big City frightens me. The waitress was more than accommodating and immediately asked me what I'd like to drink. A dry vodka martini with 3 olives, of course. Would Tito's suffice? You bet your buns it would. I want to look sophisticated but drink moderately priced (side eye to you, Stoli drinkers). After a few readings on why Trump/Biden is destroying/saving the country/former democracy and then also catching up on the latest in the Hawk Tuah saga, the time came to place an order. I asked my waitress what she recommended, and to my great surprise, she followed by reading the entire menu. For an indecisive man in an indecisive world, this was exotically perplexing. I settled on the pork chop with a side of spinach. Why? Well, the waitress swore that the pork chop was irresistible, and the spinach made me feel like I was being a big boy. In truth, the food DID NOT disappoint. The last time I had a pork chop, my mama pan fried it for me and cooked all of the color/flavor/texture/life out of it. I loved mama's pork chops (this is my truth), but this was AMAZING. It was crusted in mustard seeds and chives (at least I thought they were chives, it was dark and I forgot my readers), and accompanied by a mustard au jus (spelling?) and a dollop of whipped potatoes. Simply put, it was delicious. The pork chop and au jus were cooked to smoky/tender perfection. The spinach was . . . spinach, but its somewhat sour taste helped cut the richness of the pork chop . . . which was as thick as a ribeye. I must say . . . (pause) . . . I did find the whipped potatoes a bit anemic. Don't get me wrong. They were good, but they needed salt, pepper, cheese, other cheese and bacon. Beside that they were fine. As I washed my meal down with a few moderately priced glasses of cab, I paused to take in how perfect the evening had been. The weather - not as bad as Texas. The venue - perfect if you are a creepy old man eating at the end of the bar. The food - divine! BUT! And, reader, I assured you at the outset there would be a "BUT." The meal was not perfect. As the chef plated the dish, he/she oriented the bone portion of the pork chop to the right of the plate. Not the left. Right side bone is the preferred orientation of any bone-in meat if . . . and only if . . . you are one of the 99.9% of the people on this Earth who are cursed right handers. However, such orientation is darn (see, PG again) near useless for any of the 0.1% of the illuminati . . . I mean lefties . . . in the world. Had the chef noticed I had placed my water cup, wine glass, second wine glass, martini glass and smart phone (not gonna give you free press, APPLE!), they would have noticed that this critic is a lefty. A southpaw. A . . . dare I say, but I shall . . . social outcast at The Dutch, at least. So, in the end, while the experience and food were amazing, I am only giving The Dutch a 4.99 (repeating) stars because they apparently hate old left-handed dads who wear reasonably priced, but comfortable as heck (keeping it PG, Yelp!) sneakers in what we all agree is a walking city. But, seriously. The Dutch is great.
