Gaudium New York

Wine selection and generous portions

This wine bar and diner is open for lunch and izakaya-style dining in the evening. I dropped by to have a beer and the daily lunch. The beer was served with small but delicious serving of ratatouille. The chicken and rice lunch came with seasoned long grain, a lot of fried chicken karaage, a salad, and a boiled egg drizzled with Hollandaise sauce. The prices are reasonable. I liked the casual decor which reminded me of Canadian and American tapas places. It felt nostalgic.
