Upscale American eatery with rooftop greens & extensive Old World wine
"Eli’s Table, the Upper East Side restaurant from Eli Zabar, has returned after a three-year pandemic closure. Next door to Eli’s Market, the restaurant’s dishes include those made with greens grown on nearby rooftops (owned by Zabar); white asparagus with egg and a vinaigrette; veal sweetbreads; or tagliatelle with peekytoe crab. It’s a wine lover’s destination, with more than 50,000 bottles in the cellar, one of the largest collections of Old World wine in the city." - Melissa McCart
"A wine destination reopened by Eli Zabar in the Upper East Side." - Melissa McCart
"Eli Zabar’s ambitious American restaurant, is back after a pandemic hiatus. Expect dishes made with greens grown on nearby rooftops (owned by Zabar); white asparagus with egg and a vinaigrette; veal sweetbreads; or tagliatelle with peekytoe crab. The wine list includes selections from one of the largest collections of Old World wines in the city — more than 50,000 bottles in the cellar." - Eater Staff
"Recently reopened Eli’s Table is one of four restaurants offering New American and two party spaces. Ingredients are top notch, not to mention it’s a venue for French oenophiles." - Eater Staff
"Reopening tonight at 1411 Third Avenue near 80th Street, I find Eli’s Table has returned as a seasonal Upper East Side restaurant after a three-year pandemic closure, housed adjacent to Eli’s Market. Longtime chef Moctezuma “Monti” Garcia, who has worked with Zabar for over two decades, is offering dishes that highlight greens grown on nearby rooftops and seasonal specialties such as white asparagus with egg and a vinaigrette, veal sweetbreads, and tagliatelle with peekytoe crab. Wine director Kilian Robin oversees purchases across Eli’s restaurants and markets from a cellar of more than 50,000 bottles—one of the city’s largest collections of Old World wine. The reopened space has been updated with some layout changes and a new manager, and over the coming months I expect classes, winemaker dinners, and curated meals drawn from the wine list, while the Zabars maintain the goal of a neighborhood place “where everyone knows you and what you like.”" - Melissa McCart
