Alternative to Prune?

[dberrent]

My husband and I are going on a much needed date and are looking for a restaurant with the same feel as Prune (we're going there next week for his birthday) - any suggestions?

Orchard is really good

AOC bedford

Applewood in Brooklyn has a lot of the same feel of Prune...and has tremendous food. Just the trek to Brooklyn to worry about.

I had a nice time at goblin...didn't rush me out...but prune is a great place

prune is a great place the brunches are the best in the city...the variety of bloody marys and the steak and eggs...unreal

tasting room? I liked the old place a lot better...
August is a great suggestion...

The little owl is a tiny gem in a lovely neighborhood.

the little owl is a perfect alternative to prune. i get the same sort of vibe off it...small nabe place with incredible food, home cookin in a way you would never do at home. in fact it is even better for a date cause the room is definitely more romantic and has a better ambiance.

maybe Little Giant? Also small and downtown but not as claustrophobic as Prune.

...August might work...nicer room and better food than Prune too. IMHO.

If you're willing to try Brooklyn, I would recommend Grocery on Smith Street . It's a very small restaurant, very food-centered, great service, very comfortable and homey.

I second Grocery -- both it and Prune are wonderful for food and the "feel" of a nice night out.

goblin market on prince

I haven't been to Prune but I read that disparaging article about the service at Goblin Market and how they rushed people through their meal etc. JB, did you have a different experience?

i went to goblin market twice before the article came out, and had lovely service each time. but i haven't been back recently.
