Review of SD26 Restaurant & Wine Bar

Went out to SD26 for the first time this past week...

Went out to SD26 for the first time this past weekend for my birthday. Was originally going to go to Eataly (never been either), but realized it was just a big tourist destination. SD26 was much more my style.

It's seemed super trendy in my opinion with a modern restaurant/bar scene feel. My date and I ate dinner in the lunge areas since the dining room was full. We start off with a nice cocktail and ordered our main entrees. Drinks were awesome and made strong (the way I like it). I ordered the sauteed veal dish and even though the portions were small for the meal it was delish. Part of me was like am I really paying this much money for this little food. Then I realize it is flatiron and it's a bit of a higher end restaurant.

Our server was awesome. Super friendly and even gave us complementary appetizers, desert, and wine. Overall I loved the atmosphere and would definitely go back to this place, especially for a nice cocktail. Would be keen to try out the dining room next time.
