Olmsted

Chef Greg Baxtrom’s Olmsted took Brooklyn and beyond by storm when it opened with its high ceilings and verdant, minimalist decor in 2016. It became the city’s toughest reservation seemingly overnight; a designation that has only recently eased up. Today, Baxtrom operates a few restaurants in the area, plus one at Rockefeller Center, and Olmsted is the collection’s standout. Its $125 tasting menu includes four courses (including bread service and dessert) with choices like beef tartare, asparagus, scallops and duck.
