MICHELIN-starred restaurant with refined local produce, seafood, and service
"20 Victoria is a dimly lit, deceptively casual bistro inside a kafkaesque office building in the Financial District. Here, $195 per person feels like a safe investment, with a seafood-focused tasting menu that favors simplicity over overwrought attempts to impress. Buttery cod meets stewed seasonal tomatoes so sweet and luscious you remember how they're actually fruits, while the actual vegetables hold their own, too. Baby carrots, heirloom radishes, artichokes, and tiny turrets of romanesco arrive ready to dip into a funky face-slap of anchovy-laden bagna càuda that’s equal parts acidic, salty and off beat. A shiso leaf toro “taco” tastes like wagyu should, but rarely does, and the pull-apart milk buns with salted butter arrive just in time to rescue any leftover sauces." - Erin Hershberg

"The cooking is thoughtful and deceptively simple as in this dish with smoked yellow beets with oyster cream, watercress and sorrel dressed in good olive oil. The beets are tender and sweet, and then comes the cream. It's briny, umami packed, a tinge smoky — an original combination." - The MICHELIN Guide
