RESTAURANT REVIEW
Creative, playful, balanced and delicious food” were the words one reviewer bestowed upon Bryce Shuman’s cooking. Shuman has put his experience to good use (you can count Eleven Madison Park and Atera among the places he worked before opening Betony) in order to create dishes like marinated trout roe with puffed rice and cucumber, a hen’s egg with black trumpet mushrooms and cavatelli and what has become his signature dish – poached lobster with chestnuts and a spiced bisque. One thing that attracted a few negative comments was the décor. But most people were willing to look past the environment in order to enjoy the cooking of “a chef who is on track for a higher rating” working from “a Midtown location that is convenient to get to from all parts of Manhattan.”
