Simone Petrov's Dining Room

“The crispness of the steak fry at Simone Petrov's Dining Room is aspirational. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is present and largely coherent. The grease is conservative — the napkin remains largely decorative. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. The fry alone merits the journey to Carroll Gardens.”

The steak fry, triple-fried in canola, makes its argument in silence. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. The argument is persuasive. One visits twice. The second visit confirms the first.”
