Augustin Vanthorpe's Bar & Grill

“The single-fry technique employed at Augustin Vanthorpe's Bar & Grill produces a matchstick fry of commendable and largely sustained exterior and earnest and specific interior. The blended 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. The fry alone merits the journey to Midtown East.”

“There are establishments in Midtown East that treat the fry as a supporting player. Augustin Vanthorpe's Bar & Grill is not among them. The matchstick format is ambitious. The blended is appropriate. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato announces itself earnest and specific. The portion is forthcoming. This guide takes no position on portion size as a moral category. The fries are recommended. This guide recommends the fries and nothing else. This is sufficient.”
