THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED One. Six One Restaurant Review:


This international small-plates eatery has a lovely, spacious patio---even if it is lacking a view---and a lounge counterpart called The Bar 10 Doors. Although nothing we tried bowled us over, we’ll concede it’s a good place for groups, small or large, who share disparate tastes. The menu bops from Greek to Asian, and Japanese to French cuisines and everything in between. In the end, samosas are par for the course, stuffed with potatoes and peas and served with gingery tomato chutney. Lime-infused mahi and scallop ceviche, accented with pimentón and studded with jalapeños and cilantro, passes muster. Among the more substantial dishes, braised short ribs with rich Périgord sauce sport a peppery punch and cozy accompaniments of creamy horseradish potatoes, creamed leeks and cauliflower purée. For dessert, get the churros, which come with gently spiced chocolate “soup.” And if you’re wondering about the name, here’s the drill: it points to the harmonious, mathematical Golden Ratio.
