rming and knowledgeable waitresses in the business), as is Lincoln, a stunning and loveable lad from Australia. But the man steering this ship and navigating it extremely well through a sea of fabulous people in heat for one of the restaurant’s 35 tables, is Richard Luftig, a front of house manager and sommelier who makes all that eating even better. He is a gem, working the room, taking names, keeping the masses smiling and in line. Amazing. He can also chose great wine while clearing a table, taking the names of six new parties, and making sure the celebrity seated in the corner is happy and unrecognized. He is a miracle manager. Every restaurant should have someone like him. Welcoming, smart, genuine, and focused on making sure you have a great night. He is the reason The Spotted Pig will remain a loyal local’s hang for years, and not just for the moment.

The Spotted Pig gives people what people they want. A neighborhood pub with magnetic appeal that serves food you want to eat every day. Alone, with friends, on your way back from work. Whenever, this is a place to have a pint and see a familiar face. Just remember, do not, under any circumstances, share those Gnudi.

The Spotted Pig is located at 314 West 11th Street, 212-620-0393. Lunch starts next week. No reservations, so go early, or be prepared to wait, happily, for your table.
