With its flattering lighting and model-friendly menu, the Fat Radish is catnip for downtown dandies and other denizens of the fashion flock. But while the sceney restaurant—the brick-and-mortar debut of Silkstone catering—draws the same crowd as the stylish parties its owners have nourished since 2008, the Anglo-leaning cooking is short on substance. Conscientious salads and appetizers like an earthy celery-root potpie reminded us of dinner-party fare. Even the more exciting entrées, such as monkfish vindaloo, taste like home-cooking improv—all sweet and no heat, curried fish neutered for timid palates. As a healthy alternative to most restaurant cooking, the food overall isn’t really that bad. But with serious pricing, it probably ought to be better.

hey "nycwinesommelier," you're making your way around! Coincidence you've wrote the same commentary about the wine lists at several different restaurants every opportunity you get?

Good for cocktails, date and off the beaten path? Quite the opposite. This post really should have been labeled sponsored.

I wasn't impressed with the wine list at all. Nothing original stood out for my dining partners and I. Such a HUGE disappointment.
