"Still going strong", this Union Square "tent pole in Danny Meyer's restaurant empire" bases its "well-earned reputation" on "stellar", Greenmarket-fresh New American food served by "engaging" staffers in a "refined" setting made for "intimate conversation"; it's a "special-occasion" place with appropriately "costly" tabs, and though scoring a reservation can be tough, insiders advise "dining at the bar."
