👨‍🍳"haute cuisine without the haute conceit"
🥟The potato dumpling is knedle reimagined
🎁You keep the green-and-gold chopsticks

Dinner here starts with rhododendron kombucha in a Japanese tea room hidden behind a Fort Greene townhouse. Chef Rafał Maślankiewicz serves a 12-course kaiseki menu with Polish soul: think potato dumplings with mochiko flour, sour cream, and raspberries, all from a 12-seat counter where profits fight food insecurity.
