About Lenox Sophia
Pale wood tables, a handful of counter stools and an open kitchen fill a narrow storefront, and guests can talk to the cooks as they work. Dinner is one price for five set courses, offered as an omnivore or a vegetarian menu that changes with what local farms deliver; past plates include octopus toast, scallops, duck confit, pea custard, beet tartare and celeriac soup. It is BYOB, which regulars count as a major draw, and the meal takes about 90 minutes to a soundtrack of down-tempo hip-hop. Menus arrive by QR code. Reviews are divided. Admirers praise inventive vegetable cooking, well-timed courses and warm, unfussy service, while recent critics call the portions small, the chairs uncomfortable and the tables tight for the price. It opens 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday only. Google reviewers rate it 4.5 from 114 reviews, and it is recommended in the Michelin Guide.
