The holiday break seemed a good time to finally try Destroyer during its illusive weekday breakfast/lunch hours.
It’s tough to find things to say that haven’t already been mentioned here already.
All of the food was great. It was different and interesting and, well, it tasted great. There were different textures and temperatures, and there was a certain comfort within each. Really great.
But the criticisms or eye-rolls are well founded. The space is beautiful, but almost feels like a caricature of itself or an interactive museum exhibit of an artsy cafe. Those looking to be full will have to order full menu and drop a lot of money. You don’t leave dissatisfied, but you don’t leave full. I haven’t eaten at Baroo, but it sounds like a similar experience.
BEEF TARTARE (smoked egg cream / pickled mushroom / radish)
BABY ROMAINE (fresh cheese / chicken skin / pistachio)
BABY POTATOES (poached egg / smoked dates / brown butter)
