A 'grown-up' evolution of a cult classic, serving nostalgic modern Americana and top-tier tequila cocktails in a buzzing Soho diner setting.
Ordering Strategy
The small plates and starters are the main event here; order the garlic bread immediately. Focus on the 'Americana' snacks and cocktails (Margaritas are essential) rather than a traditional three-course structure.
What to order
Tear-and-Share Garlic Bread
Modeled on Parker House rolls and doused in green-flecked butter.
Steak Dinner
Comes with creamed greens and crisp fried potatoes, speaks to a restaurant that is still devoted to American cooking.
Quail and Grits
A really nice dish that to me is very Rita’s then and Rita’s now, entails milling their own grits with heritage corns from the U.K. and U.S.

Good to know
There is a coveted, enclosed garden out back perfect for warmer evenings. The restaurant can get very loud and busy, so booking is recommended. Bathrooms are limited.
