“Not as pretty as lartusi but damn the food at blue ribbon brasserie slaps. Spicy fish soup (if you can handle heat), fried oysters, seafood towers, paella (really just saffron seafood dry risotto), and perhaps the best fried chicken in the city. End w bread pudding w vanilla ice cream. Phenomenal”

replying to u/Foreign-Buddy198: Yes it was asked. I’ll answer the same way. Blue Ribbon Brasserie in Soho. Understated, same great place since it opened a few decades ago! Everything on the menu is great. Not to be confused with Blue Ribbon Sushi just up the block. Awesome spot too.

replying to u/nyc-dad: I live in the area. Walker's is meh. My suggestions - walk a few extra blocks and go to Raoul's. If you like Indian go to Tamarind. Cocktails or post dinner drinks at Smith and Mills. Au Cheval for burgers. American Cut has good steaks. Frenchette, I prefer to eat the bar, and of course Odeon for lunch.
“Blue ribbon a bit closer than Raoul’s but also a good vibe.”

replying to u/jaded_toast: "that unfortunately kicked off a bunch of chains" Do you mean that you think that the Brasserie specifically is the best of all the Blue Ribbon restaurants? I had heard a lot about them, generally speaking, like 10 years ago, but I tried one of the sushi bars first and thought it was only ok. It didn't fill me with an urgency to try any of their other spots. If I'm interpreting what you're saying correctly, that the Brasserie is a league above their other spots, then I would be really curious to give it a try.
“My personal two cents is the original brasserie is galaxies better than every chain and other location. It’s a standalone restaurant that - based on my experience - has a lot of longstanding workers and quality, quality food on the menu.”
