For Brunch, Go Fish

You'll have to wait till next week for our official review of Mike Stollenwerk's sequel to his maddeningly popular Little Fish, but for now we can tell you the restaurant is set to begin brunch on January 31st. Surprisingly--and very unlike the dinner menu at fish--the carte du jour isn't nearly as seafood-dominated. And though we'll say yes please to baked eggs with lobster and uni emulsion, we're even more jazzed about french toast filled with foie gras, pork belly over grits and duck eggs benedict gilded in duck fat hollandaise. Sunday the 31st also marks Stollenwerk's reprisal of Little Fish's famous $28 five-course pre-fixe. Given that fish, while more than double the size of Little Fish, still only seats 47 including the bar, reservations will likely be just as elusive. Godspeed.
