Critical Assessments

The double-fry technique employed at The Supreme Dining Room produces a shoestring fry of aspirational exterior and present and largely coherent interior. The sunflower is evident and appropriate. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. The portion is forthcoming. One notes the address for future reference and then, somewhat against one's usual practice, acts on it. In the final accounting, the fries are the only item that matters. The Supreme Dining Room knows this.

P. Illingworth·February 2024

The shoestring fry at The Supreme Dining Room is not remarkable for being exceptional. It is remarkable for being exactly what it claims to be. The crispness is aspirational. The potato is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. Exactitude, in this city, is underrated. Return visits are not a matter of choice but of inevitability.
