Pete Wells Awards Two Stars to Flatiron's Maysville

Crab toast at Maysville

By Kelly Dobkin

Pete Wells has bestowed two stars on Flatiron newcomer Maysville, whose Southern-inspired fare (from the Char No. 4 folks) has earned it some positive buzz. He writes: "The common theme here is smoke, which curls throughout the menu. It adds unexpected depth to the mashed potatoes with an excellent sliced rib-eye cap. It’s there in the papery sheets of country ham on top of crisp cubes of fried grits. It lends enough flavor to a whole smoked trout that Mr. Knall gets away with his decision to serve the fish with no sauce, just grilled onions, pickled mushrooms and tufts of watercress."
