Narcissa Restaurant Review:


Located inside The Standard hotel is this East Village oasis. With sprawling yet cozy-feeling dining rooms and a twinkle-lighted garden, you'd want to visit to enjoy the space alone, but the food is a draw as well. Although the wine list is wide-ranging, start with a Bandol Rosé or the Lieu Dit, one of the many options from the underrated Santa Ynez Valley. Start with the beef tartare or East Coast oysters complemented by hibiscus mignonette. Consider the likes of smoky Japanese sweet potato with Peruvian pesto, pan-seared red snapper or the crackling porchetta. Vegan selections include toasted rye cavatelli with mushrooms and black truffle. End the meal with buttermilk panna cotta or the chocolate tart with crème fraîche vanilla ice cream.
