A New American restaurant and bar has eyes on the Lower East Side.

A yet-to-be-named concept is planned for 108 Stanton St., between Essex and Ludlow streets, according to a business filing with Manhattan Community Board 3.

The space will accommodate up to 46 guests and feature an 18-foot standing bar with eight additional stools.

The restaurant will serve New American cuisine, blending classic American comfort food with modern influences and seasonal ingredients.

The proposed menu will feature shareable starters, including lettuce hearts tossed in apple vinaigrette with macadamia nuts and fresh herbs, as well as a layered russet potato cake topped with sour cream, salt, pepper and vinegar saltbush.

Main dishes will include hibachi-grilled mushrooms with garum and myrtle flowers, fire-grilled yakitori made with Freedom Farms grass-fed beef, and Snowdance chicken thighs.

Guests can likely expect a curated cocktail menu alongside a selection of beer and wine, as the restaurant has applied for a full liquor license.

An official opening date has not yet been announced. The team is currently working through the permitting and licensing process.

The yet-to-be-named concept plans to operate daily from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m. once it opens. Stay tuned!
