That menu looks like a rip-off of Michael Ferris's work.
It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

Here's the new menu. Looks like one of the old menus - apart from the food.

quirky

Meatballs! Roast chicken! Pork chop!


Classy. Note that someone took the flat-looking text embedding secret with them. The cutout looks like crap.

eta: visible Tipp-Ex work too.

I hope he finds the lowbrow customers he's looking for, because no one with any taste has praised this new menu.

Someone on Eater pointed out that it's pretty much the same menu as Robertas. Which would mean that Sneak and almost everyone else here has praised it.

(I'm just joking. Kind of.)

1. It would have to be cooked as well as Roberta's.

2. Kind of not the same thing to do Roberta's menu after Roberta's has done it.

3. I wasn't persuaded that it was that much the same.

It's possible that the comment is based on someone's only experience with a casual Italian menu being from Roberta's Posted Image

About 4 in 5 Eater comments are simply useless.

86ed sous chef Jose Ramirez has a pop-up already, featuring a "site-specific interactive menu."

I thought he was running that on the side even when Isa was open.

Yes former Sous Chef of ISA had a pop up veggie dinner at Whirlybird, not sure if he is still doing it. See in this post the info.
It was worth the visit!

I believe he is doing some sort of pig roast in July, each Sunday.
