Heroes.

A new restaurant paying homage to the wine makers and all the heroes in the restaurant business.

Now to the food.

Heroes is all about aged fish so we ordered one of the two fishes offered on the menu.

The Striped Bass was well prepared with a crispy skin and sautéed escarole. I have to admit the fish did not rock my world. It was unexciting ($70).

The accompanying Chicory Salad was tasty.

Featured on the menu is the dry-aged Turbo ($70) and the 30-day dry-aged bone-in Ribeye ($5 an ounce).

Before the fish we dove into the Crispy Sushi Rice. I felt the fried rice was crispy to the point of hard and difficult to bite into. I was unimpressed and I am a big fan of crispy. The sauce and mushrooms were quite delectable ($26).

The Bluefin Tuna comprised of Toro Belly and Tuna Shank were both excellent. The serving size was less than generous considering the $26 price point.

We chose an appetizer, Alp Blossom, cheese for dessert. The German cheese was warm and gooey. The rind is coated in a mix of scented flowers and herbs ($22).

Upstairs there is Pearl Box, an intimate cocktail 70’s style lounge that features caviar along with small plates.

Ariel Arce, the woman behind Tokyo Record Bar and Roscioli, opened Heroes a few weeks ago in the historic townhouse located at Broome Street and Broadway in SoHo.

Aaron Lirette, former chef of Danny Meyer’s Chicago Michelin-starred Green River, is in the kitchen creating polished American fare.

The room is small and appealing, the cuisine less so and it is pricey for food that looks better than it tastes.

Heroes 357 West Broadway New York City. Open Monday-Saturday 5-10:30pm. Reservations on Resy.
