The two-inch-thick patty made with short rib from deli/butcher Publican Quality Meats is the star: The meat is velvety, juicy, and, true to its origins, screams quality. http://tmoutchi.us/YmTIHi

What chef Paul Kahan does with Blackbird in Chicago is what I wish he would come to NY and do, just so I could eat there more often.-Jimmy Bradley , Top Chef

Try the frozen cucumber mousse from our 100 Best list: Executive pastry chef Bryce Caron turns a humble cucumber into this creamsicle-like dessert, which is unexpectedly rich & surprisingly refreshing

"Here, pig is not a trend, because trends die, and at Blackbird, pork lives, and lives and lives. That night at the bar, the amuse bouche was a gorgeous ribbon of lardo." -Time Out on TripExpert

great food and great service!

Blackbird's newest dish is Cider-glazed salmon with miso, sunchoke, rapini & chamomile vinaigrette. It was inspired by all the planters everyone puts out on their front porch every Fall.

The veal sweetbreads with crunchy green beans are the best preparation of sweetbreads I've ever had.

Tim Fahys known for nuanced, offbeat desserts: Under ice cream youll find pickled raisins, or maybe a crunchy pile of streusel; ganache is at times made just with chocolate other times, with Ovaltin

excellent for a business lunch....

This restaurant can be expensive but at the same time their $25 three-course lunch is the best four-star deal in town. Try the pork belly or whitefish sandwich. Menu changes for dinner.

Order the Midwestern Makeover. This dish is: Roasted whitefish - grilled romaine, potato broth, chives and lemon oil.

Great value lunch for $22... Nice atmosphere, however waiters seem a bit lost... The cheesecake is to die for. Overall great little place.

The bubblegum ice cream dessert is insanely good. Yes, you should save room for dessert.
Mike | 2013-08-06 12:13:04
The lamb sucked. Desserts are all really good though. Most entrees are really overpriced.

The halibut is off the hook!

Is it hot in here or is it just the kitchen staff? Hubba Hubba.
