On the Grid : Vic's

"Vic’s hits the sweet spot by maintaining a relaxed and cozy vibe without feeling cramped—it even boasts a few booths! The location was once home to the Astor family stables. Now, the resto-bar is smartly designed with an elongated open floor plan: first you encounter the bar, then a wood-and-brick-lined dining room, followed by an atrium and lastly, the kitchen. Vic’s was opened in 2014 by repeat restaurateurs and elegantly decorated with a designer’s love of detail. Try one of the many options of wine by the glass, and order anything that comes with the crispy potatoes." - Carbone Smolan Agency
