Roasted Partridge ($32)
No, they don’t come in a pear tree, but chef Matty Matheson’s spectacularly roasted birds do arrive at table complete with feet. And they’re halal to boot, brined for 48 hours, then slow-roasted and basted with honeyed butter.
The former Oddfellow then sides them with sweetly pickled blueberries, blanched Brussels sprouts, hand-cut cabin-house fries and heirloom beets all the way from P&L’s rooftop garden. But what’s with serving them with claws intact?
“Hey, at least I chop off their heads.”
Dinner Tuesday to Saturday 6 to 11 pm, bar till close. Brunch Sunday 11 am to 3 pm. Licensed. Access: barrier-free.
