Dining at The Dutch

Ten years ago, award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini, with his NoHo Hospitality partners Luke Ostrom and Josh Pickard, opened The Dutch in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. Embodying both the spirit and tastes of a great New York bistro/bar, it garnered the number one position in The New York Times Top 10 New Restaurants of 2011. Fast-forward a decade and a dozen NoHo Hospitality concepts later, Carmellini and partners have brought The Dutch to the Gulch.

Located on the ground floor of the gleaming critic Sam Sifton dubs its style and fare “smart-casual.”) From the central bar, one view looks out onto a terrace for breezy outdoor dining; from the other, a room of four-tops and cozy leather booths, anchored by a huge blazing hearth. There are plenty of inviting spaces to sip a cocktail (the Manhattan Cobbler makes a tall, bittersweet quaff ) and savor The Dutch fare.
