NYPress: Rye Restaurant So-So, But Might Get Better
Rye, the new restaurant by Cal Elliot (well-regarded chef of Dumont, Dressler) is still in beta so to speak, perhaps that’s why Linnea Covington of New York Press is kindly suggesting that despite “unimpressive” entree options, and so-so risotto, the place has potential. Appetizer choices are excellent, the cocktail list is “fun”, and perhaps after finishing touches are put in place, it’ll be just as successful and hip as his other establishments. Understandably, a well-earned reputation goes a long way but in this economy, $24 striped bass in Williamsburg’s South Side better offer more than the chef’s pedigree. CASH ONLY.
