The Dutch — Restaurant in New York

I've been stressed lately. Going through it. In the blender. Just a lot going on, personally and professionally.

One of the main stressors being this big deal at work I've legit been chasing for a year. It's been a journey. This client is so hot and heavy one day, then just ghosts me for months.

The team knew I was stressing and down bad, as the client said he was going to sign last week and then went radio silent, so they took me to lunch here at the Dutch to take my mind off it. Everyone got a round of drinks, I just stuck with water because alcohol at this point may have sent me past the event horizon. A random thunderstorm began to pour down outside as if to match my mood.

As I was sitting there in the beautiful interior of the Dutch feeling sorry for myself, I got a text from the client that read "Did you get the signed contract back?" My heart sank into my chest. I showed my work bestie and we silently walked outside while looking at each other like "oh my god... is this about to finally happen?"

I called him in the hallway, as I didn’t have anything in my email. I stayed on the phone with him as he re-sent it, and when it came through, me and my homie SPRINTED into the pouring rain chest bumping and hugging. I love that mf. If I saw a movie where this happened, I would have thought it was beyond corny. “That would never happen…”

We came back inside drenched in rainwater, and ordered champagne and a round of tequila shots for everyone. We proceeded to get LOADED at 2pm on a Thursday. It was beautiful. Sales SUCKS a lot of the time so you gotta celebrate the wins, and boy did we.

Our server, Celeste, was so confused about the vibe shift but just rolled with it like a champ. Big shoutout to Celeste. She's the good luck.

I demolished this 8oz dry aged burger and fries, washing it down with tequila on the rocks. I also had half of my big homies AC fried chicken, which was delectable. Full transparency though, anything would have tasted good at this point.

If my 20s taught me anything, it's to never tie my self worth to a 9-5 job, but this one felt good I can't even lie. If you ever need to switch the vibe up, roll through to the Dutch. It's much more effective than burning some sage…

I recently had the pleasure of having lunch at The Dutch on Sullivan St, and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendliest staff who made me feel right at home.

Let's start with the appetizers. The Dutch truly knows how to deliver mouthwatering starters that leave you craving for more. The selection of delicious apps had my taste buds dancing with joy. Each bite was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. From the crispy calamari to the tangy buffalo wings, I couldn't get enough.

Now, let's talk about the fresh cornbread. Oh my, it was divine! The warm, fluffy texture combined with the delightful aroma of fresh corn made it an absolute treat. It was the perfect companion to the other dishes I ordered.

Speaking of which, the Avocado Toast, Jammy Egg Salad, and Sunflower Romesco were nothing short of perfection. The avocado was perfectly ripe and spread over toasted bread, topped with a delightful medley of fresh ingredients. The jammy egg salad was creamy, tangy, and had just the right amount of seasoning. And the Sunflower Romesco was a delightful surprise—a burst of flavors that added a unique twist to the dish.

The presentation of the food was impeccable, and it was evident that the chefs at The Dutch take great pride in their creations. Each dish was beautifully plated, adding to the overall dining experience.

The staff at The Dutch deserve a special mention. Not only were they friendly and welcoming, but they also went above and beyond to ensure that I had a memorable dining experience. They were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu.

Overall, my visit to The Dutch on Sullivan St was a true culinary delight. The combination of friendly staff, delicious appetizers, fresh cornbread, and the mouthwatering Avocado Toast, Jammy Egg Salad, and Sunflower Romesco made it a dining experience I won't soon forget. I highly recommend The Dutch to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal in a warm and...

Had a reservation for my bf and I today at The Dutch. We started off with drinks which were a classic Margarita and a draft IPA. Both were delicious and margaritas was well made and flavorful. Next we had the little Oyster sandwiches and an Asian Calamari salad/appetizer. Both were also delicious and flavorful. My bf had the grass fed burger which was stacked high and he really enjoyed it. Fries were nice and crispy and well seasoned. I ordered the fried chicken which the Dutch is famous for. The chicken was beautifully presented with wonderful flavorful and crispy skin, the coleslaw and the honey butter biscuits were absolutely amazing! Now the problem started when I took a bite. My chicken was VERY undercooked and rubbery tasting. It didn't fall of the bone and was somewhat pink next to the bone which means it was undercooked. This is very dangerous as raw chicken can cause many intestinal issues and problems. We were deciding on what to do and I promptly called our waitress and informed her of the issue. She was very apologetic and sweet, brought the whole dish back and said they will remake it for me again. During our wait, a man who I think was one of the managers came over and also apologized for the outcome of the dish. Everyone was very understanding and wonderful. The second batch of the dish was perfect. Chicken was falling off the bone and cooked to perfection. They also comped one item off the menu as a courtesy for us. Now why did I take off a star? It seems like many other reviewers mention the chicken being undercooked. For a restaurant that is branding itself as one where this particular dish is highlighted and marketed heavily, I'd expect the chef to know how to prepare it flawlessly everytime. Perhaps better training and understanding of how to prepare a signature item should be implemented so guests don't have to send back undercooked poultry. Just a thought. Otherwise everything...
