RESTAURANT REVIEW

The son of Israeli parents, Michael Solomonov has gone back to his roots with this restaurant that pays homage to Israel's culinary heritage. The meze include house-smoked sable with challah, fried egg and garlic; shipudim (skewers cooked over charcoal) of short ribs with celery root, dates and apples; and a slow-cooked lamb shoulder that one reviewer described as "the Jewish version of the Ssam Bar pork butt." The opportunity to eat "lots of wonderful courses for a very reasonable amount of money" has reviewers wondering, "Who could ask for more?"
