Prune

REVIEW

April 28, 2009


CUISINE: American (New), Brunch, French
NEIGHBORHOOD: East Village, Lower East Side

 

 

54 East 1st street between 1st and 2nd Ave

(p) 212-677-6221

 

Inspired by my favorite food blogger, Adam Roberts (of the Amateur Gourmet), Seth made a reservation at Prune for my birthday dinner. The space is  tiny-- all of the tables are practically touching and there is minimal navigational room-- but the French-inspired atmosphere (lots of mirrors, tiled floors, low-lighting) renders an intimate decor. My only complaint of the evening arose within the first two minutes: Prune does not serve bread, but oddly flavored breadsticks. For an appetizer, we tried the sauteed onion special which had the consistency and flavor of french onion soup, minus the broth.  The salty, tender onions and crunchy pieces of bread were quite tasty...

 

 For the main course, I ordered the Lamb Blade Chop which was perfectly cooked-- buttery, soft, tender, moist and any other positive meat adjectives you can think of. The enormous portion of lamb was accompanied by rice beans "avgolemono" which were light, slightly acidic, and complimented the meat wonderfully. For dessert we had the ricotta ice-cream with salted caramel "crutons," a rich, milky, slightly salty conclusion to our meal.  The small space encouraged us to befriend our neighboring table--fellow foodies-- who encouraged us to return for brunch, which is rumored to be one of the best in the city.
