“This brainchild of a former Brooklyn restaurant manager and a Manhattan chef offers the best food and ambience for miles…Special’s include…Big Apple favorites gone Puerto Rican like Nathan’s NY Hot Dog wrapped in bacon and avocado.”
La Estacion is a super casual oasis of convivial fun and outstanding, freshly prepared cuisine. The kitchen is located in a converted gas station, but the sprawling dining areas are on open air patios ... But it’s the food that really puts this place on the map. Everything is charcoal grilled, right outside where you can watch the action – fresh fish of the day, shrimp, strip steaks, chicken and burgers. The green papaya salad makes for a refreshing starter. And many of the ingredients are locally sourced.”

“Kevin Roth’s New American menu is diverse and inspired. If I ever get a couple million bucks, I’ll bribe Kevin Roth to be my private chef, since he makes all kinds of eclectic things that I never get tired of.”

A real coup, this high-design, “cool, airy” East Villager gets kudos for its first-rate “original” New American food and surprisingly “unpretentious” staff for such a “chichi” spot; your fellow diners are as “sexy” as the setting.
“A good local restaurant is essential to any urban neighborhood. These places let customers escape the anonymity of the city and feel at home, even if they’re not from the vicinity.”
“American-born chefs have come into their own in the last decade, using fresh seasonal ingredients and incorporating exotic flavors into dishes served in friendly, informal dining rooms. (Kevin Roth has) … helped reinvent the American Restaurant.”
“Before we even lifted a fork, we both ooohed… The meat in both dishes was moist and pink on the inside, with just the right amount of grilled bits of char on the exterior. The fruit sauces were fresh and bold, not sugary. Chef Kevin Roth takes his inspiration from Europe, but brings Asian flavors and American flair to a wide range of dishes. Coup…means “master stroke” which is apt. After all, Coup combines gracious surroundings and great food. Now that’s a coup!”
“Congratulations! You won the professional category… I just wanted to thank you for participating in the event, while you are still basking in the glory of your victory”
“Kudos to the chef for his attention to detail which is sure to shake off (customers) worse symptoms of homesickness”
