Every dish at Danny Meyer’s new Untitled restaurant, located on the bottom floor of the Whitney Museum, is beautiful. Like a work of art. Quite fitting.
And just like art, food is also subjective. One man’s lobster is another man’s Chef Boyardee. I happen to dislike lobster and have a secret crush on the Chef.
Overall, I certainly enjoyed the overall dining experience. There wasn’t anything I disliked. The service was prompt and friendly. The ribs, nectarine toast and peanut butter blueberry crunch cake were fantastic!
However, the lamb meatballs were oddly spongy and lacked a bit of flavor.
The fluke portion was obscenely miniscule.
The ribs, even though I really enjoyed them, could have used a bit more salt to combat the sweetness of the peaches and a strong vinegar element.
I had eaten at the rooftop before, the more casual counterpart to Untitled called the Studio Cafe, where they specialize in Toasts. I loved them. I also love the idea of things on toast. We ordered a few of them and they were really tasty. I included those pics for your perusal, below.
I think the key here is to do a little Yelp research in advance, so you order the right dishes. Apparently the fried chicken salad is all the rage.
Whatever you do, make sure you order that G-D Peanut Butter Blueberry Crunch cake. It was phenomenal.
And try to sit outside, the people watching is ideal. And it’s fun to watch the hot dog cart guy work try to pull his cart of the curb without it toppling over into the street. Such precision, the man could have been a surgeon in another life.
