Jesikka Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Since the gas is on, lets get the discussion fired up. Imo, this is the most exciting opening in NY in awhile. I was at the F&F dinner which showed lots of promise, but basque food is deserving of and benefits from fire, which is now possible. Wine list is going to be stellar. Much of the opening team from Frenchette is there. Chef is Ryan Barlow (a dear friend), as I'm sure you already know. He's a very talented guy and he lived in San Sebastian, which is the inspiration for the restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Is it open yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rozrapp Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The website says, “Coming soon to the Lower East Side.” So, the presumption is that it’s not yet open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesikka Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 I don't have any info on when they're opening, but I'll share when I do. In the meantime, they're doing a new years eve dinner for $120 that should be very fun: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-years-eve-at-ernestos-tickets-84669762539 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jesikka Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Is it open yet? I suspect they'll be soft open this week, but I'm not basing that on any information whatsoever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 On a neighborhood board or group or whatever, the claim is a week from today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Someone should tell these guys that you don't build your website visibly online. It looks REALLY amateurish. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 To be fair It's not visible except to someone who's inclined to guess which unlinked URLs are likely to exist. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It comes up on Google when you type in "Ernesto's restaurant nyc"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 But can you see anything but the Coming Soon page? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yes! You see a quarter-constructed website, with a background redolent of the Basque country and a picture of the principal staff and of what appears to be a characteristic dish (but other photos that are clearly generic template items). Where the menu is supposed to be, you see the template's generic entries of "Flat White", "Cortado", etc., each followed by, "Here is a description of your product." Where the hours should be, you see, "to come". Where the phone number should be you see, "555-555-5555". Etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Weird, I don't see that on google at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Could it make a difference that I use DuckDuckGo? (Meaning, now that I think of it, that it ISN'T Google.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 DuckDuckGo doesn't find MY hidden under-construction website! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
