"Short rib ssam at Here's Looking At You is braised beef short rib, sliced thin, served in butter lettuce with a house-made ssam sauce. The beef is cooked until it yields under a fork, then sliced thin enough to fold into the lettuce without breaking. This is Korean-inspired fine dining that earns its genre."

"The short rib is braised in a Korean-influenced liquid for hours — the result is meat that is tender enough to eat cold, which is how it is served. The ssam sauce is built from fermented soybean paste, chili, and garlic. The butter lettuce is the vehicle. This is the dish that defines what the restaurant is doing."
