- CChristopherNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLovely dinner - the emphasis on local products and the cooking over embers gives the food a distinct flavor profile which is most pleasant. The porchetta special was really well prepared, presented and delicious. We had various seafood options as well, and the snapper and lump crab were super fresh and flavorful. The outdoor patio is quite protected from the elements so should be comfortable in all weather conditions. Frankly the background music level was better on the patio than inside. Music selection was great. Finally, a nicely curated wine list with wines for every budget including a few splurge options. All together a wonderful experience.More infoThe Dabney$$$$• American• Shaw•4.8
