“Cole's Greenwich Village by Guest Reviewer Claire Jaffe”

nd lacks the kapow of the other dishes.

For those who fancy a lighter appetizer, the chopped root vegetable salad is truly a treat. The perfect balance of salty (feta cheese) to sweet (sweet squash) to tart (sherry vinaigrette), this dish warms up the taste buds for any possible flavor the oncoming main dish might provide. Pepitas add a nice crunch, serving as a great alternative to the predictable slivered almonds of salads past. And if the fresh (ha), creative take on the standard salad didn’t reel you in, consider this: great way to get those veggies in!

The cod. Oh, the cod. Served with the restaurant’s signature simplicity, this delicate fish is certainly one of the best dishes on the menu. Perfectly cooked, oh-so-tender with a lovely golden crust, accompanied by a slightly salty but silky smooth cauliflower puree.

Finally, the dessert – and I mean ALL of the dessert – would be a crime not to mention. Pastry chef Emily Hanky lends an excellence to the menu that wraps up the meal like a fancy silk ribbon. Our favorite was the pudding with peanut butter mousse: warm, gooey, melty, and topped with a hint of salt. We wept. And we hope to weep again in the very near future.

Cole’s Greenwich Village is located at 118 Greenwich Ave, New York, (212) 242-5966.
