One of my new favorites.

The Red Cat is now one of my favorite places in the city. It epitomizes the atmosphere I love most: very homey and cozy, but light at the same time; casual and neighborly with a refined appeal to it; busy but not loud; very friendly staff. But the food is what really matters most here. Everything we had (three of us) was delectable--down to the Manhattan ordered by a very discerning Manhattan-drinker. We had the tartar and fried oysters to start--both amazing. My duck was delicious, and we shared the tempura green beans (SO GOOD!!) and the polenta. It really was great from beginning to end.
Pros: Food! (tempura green beans, duck, steak
Cons: None
