I hadn't been in a long time, but Saturday night was another fine meal at Prune. I love this place. Okay, there is a little too much butter for me on some dishes, but that's personal and if you know how to order right (whole grilled fish) it isn't a problem. The food is very simple and straight forward in a way that is apparently hard for most chefs to accomplish. You might call it no ego food.

It still doesn't have an air conditioner, although it looks like they are putting one in. And while you'd think that would be unbearable, it's actually not that bad. The fans are blasting. The very happy crowd is packed in but not complaining. And the chef Gabrielle is seducing everyone in sight from her lovely open kitchen. Great atmosphere, great food, great time. I've had to extend my definition of the LES to include 1st street so that this restaurant is in my neighborhood.
