The owners of Nice Matin bring their burger secrets to Midtown with this eatery located in the historic Film Center building. The “5 Napkin” namesake (around $15) involves ten generous ounces of hearty chuck, Comté cheese and caramelized onions. Not in the mood for beef? Try the turkey, ahi, lamb kofta or veggie varieties. Start with the shrimp and veggie Vietnamese summer roll appetizer, or the artichoke-mozzarella dip with croutons and endive scoops. The menu also features entrées of fish, pasta, chicken and beef, as well as sushi. There are also milkshakes and New York cheesecake. The upscale industrial diner motif comes complete with black leather booths that gleam under bare light bulbs entwined around suspended meat hooks. The bistro look is emphasized with old-fashioned subway tiles, blackboards and a long dark-wood bar where friendly bartenders purvey cocktails like the French Quarter (Jim Beam and Cointreau). Service is friendly.
