Sketch

Sketch, the decidedly pink and wonderfully whimsical restaurant, is an art lover's dream, thanks in part to 91 colorful works by award-winning artist David Shrigley. The graphic prints range from a cat portrait to a news bulletin that reads, 'Woman Spills Coffee.' Shrigley's work is also on display; the artist has created a number of ceramic pieces that are emblazoned with phrases like 'It's not OK' and 'Dirt'.

The service is excellent. After your charming host walks you through the process, you're attended to by a dedicated 'tea master,' glam gals in slinky cocktail dresses and baseball shoes. It comes with a spoonful of caviar (Russian Sturgeon, grown in France) and Egg and Soldiers: two slim, cheesy toast strips and a fake egg in a very real egg cup (the white is an exceptionally good Comté cheese mornay, the yolk is from a quail and cooked to an ultra-soft 63 degrees). A perfect pear tart and a caramel and chocolate éclair demonstrated the pâtissières' skill, as did a black bread Croque d'York or the salmon and soured cream on rye. After still-warm scones, it’s all finished off with a wedge of Victoria sponge.
