Claro is where New York and Oaxaca meet – the result of chef/owner T.J. Steele’s long-time love for Oaxacan food and culture. Over his many years in Oaxaca, TJ cultivated relationships with local craftsmen, artists, mezcaleros, cooks and farmers throughout the region. Claro is dedicated to making everything by hand, including the masa, cheeses, chorizo and moles. TJ sources the corn for Claro's menu from farms that hand-pick non-GMO heirloom (criollo) varieties, all our meat and produce is organic and our menu is entirely gluten-free. “Claro” means “clear” in many different senses, but also “of course” -a phrase that’s used to put a person at ease; a sentiment that permeates the style of dining we hope to share with you. The soul of Claro extends beyond the menu, having called on Oaxacan friends to add their craft and expertise to all areas of the restaurant.

My wife and I were in the city for a holiday night and ABC was close to our hotel. It was excellent - no complaints. Service was very good - our waitress or someone else was right by the table whenever we needed anything. Food was great - we started with ONE $25 scallop, but it was excellent and then shared the kale salad and ordered two of the pastas. Would definitely go back.

Great dinner again. They were running a little behind on a busy Tuesday but gave us a glass which gladly bided our time, until our table was ready. Foie gras torching special was delish, as were Manila clams and Castelfranco. For mains we had the trofie pasta, rib eye with tomato butter (omg), white sweet potatoes (another omg) and cauliflower. Everything was superb. Service by Nicky and rest of team was exemplary. 2012 vigna flavia was perfect choice from superSomm Pascaline, to compliment meal. Couldn’t ask for better.
