PRINT Restaurant in Ink48 Hotel - Hell's Kitchen| $$$
New American | B,L,D
After our visit to the Intrepid Museum, we planned on having brunch at PRINT, a farm-to-table restaurant, less than a 10 minutes stroll. We had no reservations because we weren’t sure how long we would spend at the Intrepid. It was also taking a chance that the restaurant is accessible due to the fact that it was located in Ink 48 Hotel.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly hostess who was able to seat us at a communal table after a few minutes since we were a party of 6 and needed space for the wheelchair. The dining room is beautifully decorated with recycled and organic materials and exudes an elegant feel.
Our waiter promptly came out and we explained our need for quick service since we had plans for a movie afterwards (yes, ambitious to do 3 things in one day but hey, it was Memorial Weekend). We proceeded with ordering both breakfast and lunch goodies.
While waiting and sharing our thoughts on the Intrepid, a gentleman came out and introduced himself as the restaurant manager, he wanted to let us know that his kitchen was making every effort to get our meal to us in time. That is what you call a nice touch of service which we really appreciated.
Our meal was served all at the same time. The smell of freshly baked pastries, the sizzle still hissing on the snapper dish we ordered and the gooey melted cheese from the Waygu burger (Rayan and Diya still talks about this burger 6 months later) appealed to our very hungry senses. Do we need to tell you it was all devoured in less than 30 minutes?
The food is inspired by the season and they’re dedicated to sustainability by supporting local farmers, winemakers, breweries and greenmarkets which is something that appeals to us.
The restaurant wasn’t very crowded around midday and yes, we got the usual looks from those who were curious about Annie, which doesn’t bother us at all. All of the servers were quite eager to please. Truly, the experience was above our expectation and has set the bar high for the rest of our dining experiences to come. We’d recommend a visit if you’re looking for farm-to-table options on the West Side with excellent services. It was easily accessible for the wheelchair, from the lobby entrance to the restaurant dining area as well as the restrooms which was located nearby the restaurant. It would be best as well to call ahead of time to make a reservation just in case they are booked for private events or busy.
