The ambience is very energetic and laid back at the same time. Great open space with an open kitchen to have lunch and brunch during summer. They work with local fishermen and bring in catch of the day that's varied each day. Tuna Poke is a must. And, you can't go wrong with crispy fish taco and avocado fritters. The staff are very friendly and helpful too." Nick Phongmekin, sous chef at BuddakanLlama Inn50 Withers Street, Williamsburg"Maybe not technically that new (it's already received a nice-but-not-glowing review from the New York Times), but still poised to blow up. Erik Ramirez, from Eleven Madison Park by way of Peru, has put together a collection of updates to classic Peruvian ingredients and cooking styles. The menu is tiny, the upside is that every dish is a flavor bomb. Sure to get even more popular when the rooftop opens for the summer. Scenic views overlooking the BQE sound like a joke now, but you'll be drinking Pisco Sours there all summer." Levi Jones, assistant general manager at The DutchLe Coq Rico30 East 20th Street, Flatiron"Le Coq Rico is a noble and creative bistro for the love of birds. Chef Antoine Westermann brings us his NYC outpost of his Paris original, Le Coq Rico (The Bistro of Beautiful Birds) showcasing a passion for responsibly raised whole-animal poultry and the expression of American terroir through the natural flavors and textures of wild and farmed birds. He offers an Offal Platter of duck and chicken liver, hearts and wings and four different Eggs preparations to seduce your taste buds then presents a Poultry Consomm with duck liver ravioli which is destined to be paired with a young Sauternes, as well as four Foies & Terrines before presenting the main attraction, The Wholebirds, from varying farms in the New England and Tri-state regions. Chef Westermanns creativity and emotion doesnt stop there! He pairs Roasted Cod and Smoked Duck Breast on a seasonal bed of carrot gnocchi, asparagus puree and green peas as well as marrying Maine Lobster & Chicken in a Fricasseee with a puff pastry grissini. And every day has its very own loving Plat du Jour. Chef Westermann finishes with seasonal, classic sweets including a Rhubarb Souffle with vanilla ice cream and rhubarb sauce. A meal at Le Coq Rico wraps your heart, palate and mind in a grand poultry affair!" Carrie Lyn Strong, wine director at AureoleSee the rest of the story at Business Insider
