“The Dutch”

ous mole redolent of poblano chiles, toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and cinnamon. Red rice and chayote accompany. Well done.

The Dutch comes to us from restaurateurs Josh Pickard and Luke Ostrom, guys who have clocked a collective six decades in the biz so they run a tight ship. So, here's what you can expect. The service is going to be great, from the greeting at the door to the adieu after the feast. All the little details will work together. Your water glass will never be dry. Your silverware will never disappear. Your needs will not only be met, they will be anticipated. Nice. They've also smartly tapped Josh Nadel (of Locanda) as beverage director, and he's assembled a quirky and exciting collection of wines and refreshing brews (and nice whiskey and cocktail lists, too) that pair up nicely with your dinner adventure by Captain Carmellini and crew.  

And you'll be drinking a lot, not only because of the great choices available, but because if you don't, the temperature of the room will cause dehydration to set it quickly. My recommendation? Start with a cocktail, perhaps the East Side Manhattan (Death's Door Whiskey, Dolin Blanc, White Dog, Kirshwasser, Jasmine bitters), then switch to lots of cold beer (there's a Schneider-Weisse on tap). Repeat as needed.

Pie is a must for dessert, so please don't leave without a slice, or two. Fillings change daily, but you can't go wrong. There's also a nice strawberry shortcake, but the pie is a must. So skip the shortcake if you can't manage both. Don't worry. You'll be back, perhaps with ear plugs (though at time of printing sound proofing was being installed) and in a very light tank dress, but you won't be able to stay away.

The Dutch is located at 131 Sullivan Street, corner of Prince, 212-677-6200.
