“Seymour Burton”

ok a bite. She took another. “Well, I guess if I wanted to eat bread for dessert this would be delicious,” she said, fork already aimed straight at my plate. If only.

I left Seymour Burton very happy that I had come again, and already wanting to return for the burger, the latkes, the chicken, the Brussels sprouts, that great mac n cheese (and the lamb shank that looked so good but that I haven’t yet had a chance to try.) To be sure, the place is not perfect. The service gets weeded quickly and sometimes it can be a bit slow. (Perhaps menus on each table might help speed up the ordering process. The black board can be hard to see and at times waiters have to read off the menu to guests at far distances). And some of the food needs more attention—it needs to be hotter and more aggressively seasoned. But some of it is really terrific. It makes you smile and feel nourished and happy. Plus, let’s be honest. I have a soft spot for lawyers who hang up their own shingles—outside restaurants, that is.

Seymour Burton is located at 511 East 5th Street, between A & B, 212-260-1333.
