Ici
Ici has the intentions and soul of a neighborhood bistro, not a destination restaurant, although it turns out to be a pleasant destination. Its menu lists about eight appetizers and eight entrees, among them braised pork shoulder with Anson Mills grits, Brussels sprouts and pecans, and oven-baked short ribs with celeriac puree and roasted vegetables.

ICI supports local farmers by using local produce, including that grown in Red Hook. Delish and socially conscious. Woot!
I have only good things to sy about ICI and their welcoming vibe. I like that the owner and his wife always seem to be there and are hands on. Lovely decorating job they did, too.
Luz is fun too.
I like all 3.
i’m in love with the panna cotta at Ici…
loulou (across the street from chez oscar) is very good too.
We had an absolutely delicious pork hash at Ici last week. Yum!
