Polished, creative New American with Michelin-level technique, superb service, and standout dishes like brick chicken and octopus, but expect premium pricing, automatic fees, and occasional inconsistency.
Protégé delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout dishes like brick chicken and Spanish octopus, paired with genuinely attentive service that elevates the experience. Consistency shows occasional variation in seasoning and pacing, while tight seating and cramped side rooms limit the setting's appeal, keeping it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants rather than reaching premier destination status.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (mains $35-46; wagyu $115) plus surcharges
