I treated myself to a pre-Valentine's dinner at &Sons' Greenwich Village location and was initially disappointed they wouldn't allow a reservation for one, I got worried especially given how quickly restaurants book up. But the moment I walked in, the nerves disappeared.
The warm, dimly lit space was inviting, and my waiter led me past the open bar and kitchen into a stunning high ceilinged dining room. He cleared the unnecessary second plate, poured my water, and left me to revisit the menu I had already read over the night before trying to make careful decisions in what I wanted.
Perhaps a salad? PERHAPS NOT. JK I started with the steakhouse wedge because the crumbled bleu cheese and thick cut bacon bits were calling my name. It didn't disappoint. Then came my meal, a perfectly seasoned NY Strip, medium-rare, with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Some might find the steak a bit salty, but paired with the sides? Delicious. The bits of fat from the strip were so tasty and rendered down. The mashed potatoes were smooth (though I wouldn't have minded more butter), and the creamed spinach, topped with crisped parmesan, was flavorful, though not as creamy as expected.
An extra dirty martini, with small-batch vodka chosen by my waiter, was my idea of a perfect pairing. While I may not have been able to reserve a table for one, this solo dining experience was worth every bite. Book for 2 if you're going alone, they didn't make a fuss. I'll be back
