Vutera
"You can’t judge a restaurant by its entrance. This one, you access by the front door of Rose Live Music, through what looks like a fire exit, down a flight of stairs, past the bathrooms—et voilà, a subterranean dining room that’s as charming (candlelit, wood-beamed) as it is unexpected," says New York magazine.
Time Out New York calls Vutera's seasonal menu "charmingly simple, with unfussy dishes like a cauliflower gratin baked with mild leeks, Gruyère and bread crumbs, and flank steak with roasted purple potatoes, grilled ramps and a smear of smoky romesco." And Restaurant Girl writes, "They serve striped bass with sauteed mustard greens, pine nuts, and Meyer lemons shipped from the the chef's mother's house in California... The table favorite was a tender, red wine-braised lamb shank with baby carrots and polenta."
"Italian, French and Spanish wines dominate the wine list, and the rustic and cozy space is perfect for sharing a pre-show quartino (and perhaps a roasted almond panna cotta with orange coulis) before heading upstairs to take in some late night music," adds Metromix. What's your take on Vutera?

This place is great - Good Marlow and Sons alternative, if you're in the mood for some decently priced wine and expensive snacks. Food is okay, but I haven't really ordered any of the entrees - so I'm curious to hear what other people think.
