“What Restaurant Will Impress A Native New Yorker?” - New York - The Infatuation
"A Fine Dining Spot Doing Something Different If you’re looking for a restaurant that nails fine dining food without making their diners feel like they’re either in a country club or a post-apocalyptic Bezos spaceship, I’d recommend checking out Fradei in Fort Greene. It opened in 2020, and many people still don’t know this $90 tasting-menu restaurant exists yet. You won’t know what’s on the menu until the dishes arrive at your table (although the food generally skews French and Italian, with an emphasis on seasonal produce). Eating here feels as unpredictable as a surprise party or an Escape Room without the elevated heart rate and couples fighting. You might get steak tartare with togarashi or broiled cucumbers blanketed in a delicate sheet of lard, or neither of those things. For anyone trying to get someone to fall in love with them in a tiny, candlelit room in Fort Greene, Fradei will work wonders." - hannah albertine
