Three things we care about

— 01 —

The room

Thirty-eight seats across an open kitchen and a marble pass. Bench seating along the brick wall, three tables in the front window, four bar stools facing the line. We keep music low and the lights warm.

— 02 —

The menu

Written by 4pm, printed by 5. Five snacks, eight plates, three desserts. The prix-fixe is a guided tour through whatever the kitchen is most excited about — usually seven courses, sometimes nine.

— 03 —

The team

A line of six cooks, two pastry, three on the floor, one wine director. Most have been here three years or more · we share tips evenly · we eat family meal together at 4:30 every day.

~ a note from the chef ~

I cook the way my grandmother cooked — slowly, and with too many opinions.

I grew up between Lisbon and the Hudson Valley. Your Business is named for my grandfather (Ferro · "iron," for the pans he refused to throw out) and my grandmother (Fern · she grew sixteen kinds in pots on a fire escape). Everything you eat here is a small argument with one of them.

We changed the menu forty-seven times last year because I cannot leave well enough alone. Forty-eight tonight. The kitchen is open until ten on Friday and Saturday · come hungry, stay late, ask for the off-menu pasta if it's a Tuesday.
