Restaurant to be appreciated by people who live in the area (and have certain artistic and/or gourmet cuisine bend), or by ""adventurous"" gourmands willing to check out a new place that's had favorable NYT reviews, regardless of locale. Nabe is definitely desolate/remote.
Got appetizer of crostini/toast with eggplant and type of cheese. Divine!! Then chicken pot pie. Crust was beautiful, flavor of pie awesome. Had unique underlying taste... not sure if lemon or what, but it worked! Only negative was meat wasn't ""perfect"". Felt I had to pick through the meat a bit. For dessert got homemade chocolate pudding with fresh whipped cream. While taste was excellent, pudding had little ""balls"" in it; wondered if it was a chocolate ""tapioca"", or if the balls meant pudding was a little overcooked/not mixed well enough. Either way still good. Service was fine for the type of place it was - quite laid-back.
Pros: food, ambiance, outside of Manhattan
