   Sutton Inn fits in well with the Midtown East neighborhood.  The ambiance is quiet and pleasant allowing for easy conversation.  The waitstaff are all kind and knowledgeable as well.

   The food was great but the menu seems like it is trying a bit too hard.  I got the Organic Chicken, which was quite tasty along with the brussel sprouts on the side.  However, the cauliflower had a bit of an off taste.  My Fiance had the duck and said it was excellent, but the ginger/orange combination through her off a bit.

   Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood.

   The Sutton inn has a nice semi-historic atmosphere. It was full but not packed on a Friday night, so I think this place is a little bit under the radar. We came here with friends, and we had a reservation.

   Things are a little bit pricey, but the tip is included in the price, so everything is less expensive than it seems. Servers were friendly, and the service was pretty good, which is impressive when you consider that this place has only been around for a few weeks.

   Here's the breakdown of the food:

   Baby Kale Salad – everyone liked this, it was a nice starter. How could you not like aged gouda?

   Caramelized butternut squash – I was a big fan of this dish, mostly because it was really unique. The caramelized squash has a creme brulee-ish top, and it comes in a thin bed of creamy ricotta-like goat cheese. Paired with whole lightly cooked cranberries, and chestnuts it's a great dish with unique flavors. Thanksgiving without the turkey.

   Smoked ricotta tortellini – I was also a fan of this dish, the sausage gives it a nice salty profile, and the brussel spouts make it fresh. A little small, but delicious.

   Pan seared salmon – this was delicious, but heavy. Bacon is delicious, hollandaise is delicious, and the salmon is cooked well. The spaghetti squash allows you to scoop up all that extra hollandaise sauce that could have been lost and gone forever.

   Soy marinated atlantic hake – I thought this was really unique as well – a nice light dish, with some salt and umami from the soy. I would recommend this.

   Our friends got the wild mushroom risotto and the grilled hanger steak, which they liked as well. The grilled hanger steak look really good.

   Overall, this was a nice intimate setting, with good unique food, that will probably only get more crowded.

   Overall the food was good but nothing terribly special especially for the prices. I had the hanger steak which was disappointing as it didn't have much flavor to it. My friend had the Bronzino which was well cooked but again lacking much flavor. The tortellini appetizer was very good.
   The no tipping rule didn't seem to affect service which was find. Not great but fine.

   I wasn't planning on drinking but their cocktail game looked really strong. I got the French Pepper and it was weirdly spicy and calming at the same time.

   Food menu is separated into Classic and Seasonal. The English pea soup was marvelous, smooth, light and refreshing. It was quite genius to use diced carrots in lieu of croutons. A seafood dish with fava and artichoke has got quite good reviews from critics, but since it is seasonal the fish is now branzino instead of salmon. It was a very substantial portion of protein. The skin was ridiculously crispy but the fish was a tad too greasy and overcooked. The blend of vegetables was on point. I never thought parsley, artichoke and fava would work so well together. Didn't order dessert. Espresso was good quality.

   Service was attentive. Price is on higher side despite the no tip policy. Overall great new gem in an otherwise extremely uninspiring neighborhood.
