Sospeso

We stopped in before a show at Atlas Arts across the street. The service was top notch. We asked first if we'd have time for dinner before our show and they said we did but also demonstrated cognizance of our timing. The food was excellent. I'm vegetarian but my friend is not, so we got a whole range of food and it was all great. I will definitely come back again. (The only "negative" is that there isn't much soft seating and a lot of hard surfaces so would be noisy when full. Lucky for us, dining early, there was only one other table and though they were loud, it wasn't oppressively so.)

My family and I had a fantastic meal to celebrate the holidays together at Sospeso. I requested a “group dining” experience using the events form on Sospeso’s website. Through this process, I was able to work with Mike (the owner) to organize a wonderful three course meal for my family, with wine and cocktail pairings. It was a tremendous hit. The meal opened with a house-made vermouth and champagne cocktail, and we did spreads (hummus, labneh, baba ghanoush, olives). Then we had half pours of white and red wines with our entrees. The red was my family’s favorite — it was an incredible 2013 Nebbiolo that Mike and the staff had opened ahead of time to let it breathe. The evening concluded with a brandy cocktail and dessert. In sum, the food was delicious, the wine and cocktail pairings were dynamite and thoughtful, and the service was also very attentive. I also loved that they made nice print-outs of our menu — a nice keepsake for a memorable meal with family.
