“I really liked it! Yes the seafood “apps” are teensy and therefore very expensive. But all the food is really good and it’s a cool space.”

“Highly recommend the truffle ndunderi, basil tortellini, duck, and branzino. And the hummingbird cake! And the entire raw bar is amazing; expensive as sin (each order is 2 pieces, so you're paying like 6-10 dollars per bite) but so flavorful and well composed.”

replying to u/Mauve__avenger_: I feel like I got to go to bat for Principe here. I will say they definitely seem like they were very focused on aesthetic values when it came to opening the restaurant, I worked for Chef Abram at the modern and he's the real deal. Amazing Chef, great guy, fantastic leader. That's not to say it's outside of the realm of possibility that some people might find their experience at his new restaurant underwhelming, that can happen anywhere. And I will concede that their portions there did look very small based on social media posts.
“The seafood is excellent quality and they arguably have the best complimentary bread in New York. I think the style over substance is more related to the value/portions.”
