| - A strong 3 stars. Nu provides a decent, but far from overwhelming experience - in fact a slightly disappointing experience, and we got out of it with a "meh" on the lips. It is good, no, better than most restaurants on Murray, but it is not as good as it should.
The restaurant itself looks fine (it shares its door with Pamela): there is enough space between tables, simple furniture, open kitchen, decent light.
The food was not overwhelming. The blintzes with meat (appetizer) were the best dish of the lunch. We particularly enjoyed the horseradish remoulade that went with it (the highlight of the lunch imo).
The jewish penicillin with the matzo ball and pasta was quite bland, and I have had many better chicken broths. The brisket sandwich was quite tasty, although not light.
Prices are fine. A complaint: they clean tables with a smelly product. Surely they know that taste and smell influence each other, and smelling cleaning product is quite unpleasant when the nearby table is being cleaned.
