The Scene
Larger-than-life prints of hillside grasses on the walls lend the space a clean, stylish air–think a Williams-Sonoma in full spring flower. Out front, a sidewalk cafe invites diners to watch the Soho traffic–both human and automotive–flit by.

The Food
The New American menu is as much about comfort as it is creativity. Meals generally begin in a pub-food vein, with appetizers like featherweight, perfectly salted fried clams and brown sugar-lacquered ribs that are good enough to take on any barbecue joint in the city. Entrees stake out more ambitious territory–honey-flecked pork over mascarpone polenta or halibut with a chilled salad of bulghur wheat and mint. Desserts such as vanilla cheesecake or a purse of warmed apples with caramel are simple and undeniably good. – Citysearch

My lil Louise took me to Jane for my super belated b’day (told her not to but she insisted, thanks Lil) dinner. I’ve been meaning to bring my mom to Jane for Mother’s Day brunch but last min she decided not to go there and went somewhere else. The food is decent, the price is moderate and the service was pretty good too, if I didn’t remember wrong the place is not that noisy which is great to catch up with your friends. I would definitely go back there one day to try brunch and dinner again, peep the pics after the jump…
