Sprig's creative menus showcase seasonal items procured from tri-state-area purveyors. Locally raised selections from the tasting menu include the tomato fondue with Humboldt Fog goat cheese and an obliging toasted baguette, and the feta-stuffed lamb meatballs, which model proudly on the plate next to minted cucumber relish and lemon-scented yogurt sauce. From the entree menu, the tender center-cut new york strip teams up with thyme-infused baked potatoes, roasted tomato, and arugula salad. The lobster-and-wild-mushroom pasta, with Maine-derived tails under spring mushrooms and thyme-scented butter, proves that the claw is mightier than the swordfish's pen.

Deluxe tasting-menu diners also share a mixed trio of crostini or cheeses, each of which tickles the taste buds in a fashion likened to that of a quivering feather recently dipped in Pop Rocks. Warm apple cobbler with apples harvested from upstate, or sorbetto flavored with blood-orange and raspberry, ends meals aptly within Sprig's modern, Manhattan-style environs.
