In addition to the hot brown, the bistro served other straightforward American-style fare like shrimp and grits, lamb chops, and a rib-eye with steak sauce and fries. Critic Sam Sifton at the Times gave the restaurant two stars in a 2010 review, noting that Bar Americain was “still quite on top of its game” five years after opening. Located at 152 W 52nd St., between 6th and 7th avenues, Bar Americain opened in 2005 and became a bit of a tourist destination due to its location and celebrity chef cred. After lunch service on Wednesday, it will shutter forever, employees confirm.
Eater New York reported back in the fall that the celebrity chef’s restaurant, known for its Kentucky hot brown, would be closing due to a new lease and “prohibitively costly” renovations. Bobby Flay’s Midtown West American bistro Bar Americain serves it last meals today.
