A self-service cafe "without frills" by day, Eli Zabar's UES American makes a chameleonlike evening transition into an "intimate dining room", rolling out seasonal "home cooking for grown-ups"; deep-pocketed locals don't mind paying for the "civilized" experience given the "top-quality" ingredients.
