"The Deal: $14 cocktails; $12 wine; $6-11 small Plates; $3 brilled oysters The outdoor setup at this Flatiron restaurant from the Colonia Verde team makes you feel like you’re at a resort. There’s a pergola, rugs, and no matter where you sit, you’ll be surrounded by big potted plants. If happy hour turns into dinner, don’t miss the lamb sliders." - bryan kim, kenny yang
"Comodo is a bit of an outlier. It’s a hotel restaurant that actually serves interesting food, and it’s also a cool place that isn’t impossible to get into. You can get a table here tonight, and you can just tell your clients that it was hard to do so. Located in the bottom of the Freehand Hotel in Flatiron, this restaurant serves an inventive Latin American menu with everything from pão de queijo lamb sliders to poblano pepper pasta. The dining room has big windows, tiled walls, and lots of dark wood, and, despite the 70-seat size, feels pretty intimate." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Felipe Donnelly and Chef/co-owner Tamy Rofe have resurrected their much loved SoHo spot, now at the Freehand Hotel. This iteration is wooing patrons with its warm interior and tempting dishes blending Latin American influences from Brazil to Mexico.Kick things off with a zesty-delicious trout ceviche tostada, vibrant thanks to leche de tigre marinade. Next, wild mushroom al ajillo tacos deliver an earthy umami cut with the spice of habanero ash. Even the tortillas are far from standard, imparting a simple but satisfying corn flavor. Tender bone-in achiote chicken over green Calasparra rice with brown butter mustard is lush, creamy and packed with flavor.Call it a day with the appropriately named "insanely good" espresso martini." - Michelin Inspector
