It might be hard to hear yourself think, but what matters here is the meat-heavy, mod-Brit menu by celebrated chef April Bloomfield. Sink into a chargrilled lamb burger ($29) good enough to make a grown lad cry. Large groups can request the chef's table for the whole roasted suckling pig extravaganza (reserve at least one week ahead; $105 per person).
