About the restaurant
After taking the Parisian dining scene by storm, acclaimed chef Daniel Rose brings home the James Beard "Best New Restaurant" award for his very first stateside restaurant. Located in SoHo, the space is a gracious modern nod to fine European gastronomy, with crisp linens, fliberking candles, and whitewashed brick. Updating classical French cuisine with charm and verve, Rose shrinks the intercontinental divide separating the City of Light and the Big Apple, proving that the true essence of fine French dining can thrive in any time zone.

About the restaurant
Michelin Bib Gourmand 4 years in a row. Vinum is the result of the love for Italian food and wine! Executive Chef and restaurateur Massimo Felici’s passion for food started as a young boy growing up in New York. Now he proudly introduces Vinum; the concept offer's a fun menu with small dishes, appetizers and an extensive wine list by the glass program.

Felici felt Staten Island was missing a place where guests could share small dishes and appetizers as their whole meal. He's confident that Vinum will satisfy this need.

About the restaurant
We want Sophie's to be a place where one could have a good, hearty meal (comfort food), simple and unpretentious, at a fair price. Our goal is to produce an atmosphere where people can come for lunch, a full dinner, a late snack, a glass of wine or a big cup of coffee and feel comfortable and at home. Our menu is diverse enough for everyone, yet simple enough so the average person will not get overwhelmed with numerous menu choices and complications. Our basic premise is to provide quality food and good service at a fair price in an unpretentious atmosphere. The décor is modeled after classic French Bistros. French country antiques, large open shuttered windows, dark woods, soft pastel colors and walls covered with family pictures make Sophie's an intimate cozy environment

Since October of 2014 we’ve taken a local and thoughtful approach to our vegetable forward menu and relaxed dining room experience. This allows you to continue to live well while enjoying your food in comfort. We love the idea of indulging in your well being. To that end, our menu pushes beyond vegetables into beef and chicken but with that same focus on healthful, whole foods. Gather around, get comfortable and enjoy on our heated patio.

618 is one of our favorite local restaurants. We dine there at least once a month. We were greeted by our waiter, Ryan. He was friendly and offered some recommendations. We started with two of our favorite cocktails, the Spicy Boi and the Espresso Martini. For appetizers, my wife and I split the Fried Lobster Tail. It was our first time trying this dish. The tail was taken out of the shell, but still attacked near the flippers. The tail meat was breaded and fried. It was crispy, the breading had a nice kick, and it was enough for two to share. For entrees my wife had the filet mignon which was accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus. I had the skirt steak which was served with french fries, guacamole, and a chimichurri sauce. Both steaks were perfectly cooked to the desired temperature. The french fries were crispy. Another great meal.
