About Tailor

Chandeliers hang from a high ceiling over white-brick walls and a long counter facing the kitchen, and a separate lounge, known to regulars as the living room, pours cocktails before dinner. Chef Vivek Surti's tasting menu draws on his family's Indian cooking and changes completely each season, which is why some guests return every quarter. Staff frame each course with the story behind it, and service is the most consistent praise, down to one large party whose request for caffeine was answered with a run across the street. Dishes sit at the edge of comfortable spice and are paced without hurry. The criticism is specific: portions that left some diners hungry, a 40-minute wait past a booking time, and chef's-table seats where the storytelling was hard to hear. Dinner runs Thursday to Saturday from 4:30pm to 10pm and Sunday until 9pm. It holds a 4.8 from more than 300 Google reviews and a Michelin Guide listing.
