Worth it, says Antonina. Chefs James Kent (veteran of Eleven Madison Park) and Jeff Katz (of Del Posto fame) bring innovation to the dinning table at Crown Shy, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Financial District.

The outcome of Pastry Chef Renata Ameni’s (who spent half a decade at Eleven Madison Park) skilled mind, the nuanced dessert menu is half the draw.

Chefs James Kent (veteran of Eleven Madison Park) and Jeff Katz (of Del Posto fame) bring innovation to the dinning table at Crown Shy, a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Financial District. Soaring ceilings, colossal windows and an open kitchen concept immerses the senses fully.
Billed as new American cuisine executed with European technique, the menu spans the gamut. From weighty roasted short rib and tender quail to delicate striped bass and pillowy ricotta gnocchi, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
Don’t sleep on the desserts. The outcome of Pastry Chef Renata Ameni’s (who spent half a decade at Eleven Madison Park) skilled mind, the nuanced dessert menu is half the draw. Ameni’s baklava cheesecake (with strawberries and pistachio) is stunning.
What I wrote thereFold it away
Chef James Kent is a remarkable talent, overseeing two Michelin Star restaurants in the same building. Saga boasts two stars, and one-star Crown Shy offers a gateway to affordable Michelin Star dining in NYC. The menu is a-la-carte so you can order as much or as little as you’d like!
The complimentary bread Crown Shy brings to each table is top-notch. As far as the menu is concerned, it rotates with the seasons and dinner entrees range between $20 and $45. The lone exception is the short rib, which clocks in at an imposing $105. Cocktails and wine hover around $20.
