Actually ate here a while ago, but this somehow got buried in my notes. This place used to be called Lokal, same ownership of My Moon, and the neighborhood promptly dubbed it the place to go if you can't get a seat at 5-leaves. Too bad for those guys, but I'm sure they cleaned up on the real estate deal.
Sauvage, however, may shake that reputation given their even more impressive hipster chops with Maison Premiere (the costume themed speak easy down in Williamsburg). They didn't go that direction, however, opting for a cleaner french cafe inspired attire instead. I must say, beautiful bar, and at the time my notes say beautiful people watching--though at the time this came from someone deprived of the talent that walks the city on any given day.
I digress, the food? I'm sick of marble bars. Shit. Sorry just referring to the notes. They clearly dumped a ton of money in the place. The fixtures are beautiful. Really, the place is so well done. Damn, look at that set of wheels. Damn it Iconman, what is going on here?
The food was fine. I had a steak and a few hors d'ouevres at the bar. It was a touch pricey, but overall acceptable given the quality. Maybe a touch over thought, but you've got to do something to be different. I imagine the menu to change from time to time, so don't go trusting me.
And I bet this place is slamming on the weekends though, much to 5-leaves chagrin.
