"In the naked city, everything is exposed. That includes, of course, plenty of hospitality operations trying to recreate even a fraction of the mystique that real deal speakeasies signaled back when Prohibition forced booze underground. While every local knows that one of the world's most famous hidden bars awaits behind a downtown hot dog shop, and that Manhattan's finest Korean steakhouse crowns an equally terrific basement bar, it can still be fun to pretend."
"Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare originally opened at the first Brooklyn Fare location (in actual Brooklyn) in 2009. The former was closer to a chef's table - or at least counter - back then, too, with a scant 18 seats snugly arranged around an open kitchen. Its multi-course menu already rang in at low triple digits per person, but the beverage program was blessedly BYOB."
Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare operates inside a Brooklyn Fare market and evokes a speakeasy-like atmosphere. The restaurant opened in Brooklyn in 2009 as an intimate 18-seat counter around an open kitchen with a multi-course menu and a BYOB beverage program. The location moved to Manhattan, expanded seating with some detached tables, and now charges a $360 tasting menu price before drinks, tax, and tip. Michelin recognition has fluctuated over time, and the restaurant currently holds two stars. Reservations require a $200 deposit, making spontaneous walk-ins impractical.
