Global delicacies, cozy vibes, luscious libations - it's all on deck at By & By, whose chef, Ed Hala, whips up dish after dish of delectable fare that showcases the best of Mediterranean, Asian, and European gourmet delicacies, among other countries whose cuisines are as adored as they are executed perfectly at this gem.
Between servings of juicy Korean Beef Satay (bulgogi marinated sirloin skewers, tangy cucumber salad), Scallops with warm bacon vinaigrette, and succotash, Rabbit Pie in a puff pastry crust, and Lamb Sliders stacked with cherry tomato compote, whipped lemon feta, and arugula on a fluffy potato bun, sip glasses of rosé or find bliss in a hand-crafted Lavender Sage Bees Knees tipple.

Opened in 2025 from the brains behind hotspots like The Reading Room and Hold Fast comes By & By. Co-owners Niamh Daly, Brian Daly, and Jason Clark wanted to bring the home comforts of different countries to the table, infusing them with a bit of Manhattan-cool style for the ultimate foray into global flavors.
The name By & By - which can mean “before long” or “soon” - is intentionally split into two parts and styled in distinct fonts on the menu to reflect its dual nature as both a high end restaurant, and a trendy cocktail haven. The merging of two concepts into one allows the space to be something for everyone, making the dynamic gem a coveted newcomer.
The confines feels simultaneously fresh and familiar. Nestled within a horseshoe-shaped space on the ground floor of a walk-up apartment building, a cohesive color palette of light blue and black, accented with touches of gold, ties it all together. There is a dreamy social buzz that permeates the air, welcoming you into what feels like a chic home away from home.
The drinks program, also run by mixology maestro Daly, reps inventive tipples that will heighten every bite. Be it a superb wine or a Hot & Heavy libation featuring Verde Amaras Mezcal, Tequila Ocho Reposado, hot honey, fresh lemon, and bitters, or a Caribbean Old Fashioned laced with cider syrup, every sip is a marvel that makes every bite even more enchanting.
With Chef Ed Halla in the kitchen, prepare for palate pleasers that will wow your taste buds at every turn. Drawing on his training working under Jason Atherton at Clocktower, Ed's creations will make you swoon over unexpected takes on worldly classics, all made using the freshest locally-sourced ingredients.
We're talking Scotch Quail Eggs with pork sausage, parmesan breadcrumbs, and mustard aioli. Ceviche studded with scallops, mahi-mahi, jalapeños, red pepper, onion, jicama, and citrus marinade, and the Short Rib Ragu, a masterpiece of slow braised beef short rib and fresh pappardelle pasta.
The pièce de résistance? A dessert of Tulumba, aka fried dough & Chambord-honey syrup topped with toasted spiced walnuts. It's everything and them some that you need for a night of delicious bewitchment...
All selections are made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
