Straight up, maximum comfort food factor, but in a 'high-end' environment. Once upon a time Odeon was pretty unbeatable, but that was a very long time ago. Any thoughts welcome.

It's a smallish half chicken but perfect for even a big appetite.

Not too surprising since Scott Bryan, formerly at Veritas, is now in charge of Apiary's kitchen. I wouldn't describe the restaurant as "high-end," but service was excellent, and the decor is very attractive. http://www.apiarynyc.com Mon Feb 16 08:45:06 -0800 2009 4421006 13867 RGR 1 4423297 Supper (2nd St. between A and B) has very good Pollo Arrosto. It's not high-end, though. Mon Feb 16 18:21:17 -0800 2009 4421006 17058 Pan 1 4424467 The chicken at Gramercy Tavern is amazing. I usually do not like white meat but there is is moist and tender. I don't know how they do it. It is on the Tavern menu, but not sure if you can get it in the main dining room.

It was juicy, tasty and tender, served au jus, and Marco explained to us that he sourced them from Sonoma and that they are all free range. Little Owl also has a pretty good Roast Chicken dish.

The chicken was super juicy and lemony - it was delicious and I have been thinking of it often since then!
