Joël Robuchon, one of the most esteemed chefs in France, has agreed to open a restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel on West 57th Street in the spring.
The restaurant, to be called L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon at the Four Seasons, will be similar to L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Paris, the informal place he opened two years ago after retiring from the restaurant in the Hôtel du Parc in Paris that had his name and had earned three Michelin stars.

"Peter Kiewit looked for three things in hiring people. He looked for integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if a person didn’t have the first…that the latter two would kill him. Because if they don’t have integrity, you want ‘em dumb and lazy. You don’t want ‘em smart and energetic.”

You're right.
I just copied the first paragraph of the NYT article.

The sign has been up for a while. Odd time of year for an opening - maybe they want to run it in while no-one's around.

Surprising that he is opening another branch of l'Atelier at such a grand location. I would think that opening another Table de JR would be more appropriate at the 4 Seasons.

How much will it cost? I see that the original restaurant charges 98 euros for the 10 course menu.

It sounds like this might be a really good restaurant.

“New York is difficult,” he said. “It’s hypercritical and unforgiving. Look what happened to Ducasse.” He was referring to the devastating reception that Alain Ducasse, another Michelin three-star chef, received in June 2001, when Alain Ducasse at the Essex House made its much-anticipated debut.

The Times is not much help (not that it's necessarily their fault):
"The restaurant has another 30 seats, at tables with banquettes. But the menus for both parts of the restaurant are the same, with a list of about 20 dishes served either as small tasting plates ($12 to $78) or larger, conventional portions ($17 to $88), at both lunch and dinner. The restaurant will also offer tasting menus. Desserts are $15."
So, anywhere between $43 and $181 for three courses.

I recall reading somewhere that reservations aren't accepted. Does anyone know? (Yes, I know I could just pick up the phone and call, but I'm feeling lazy.)

Until Sept. 5, seats at tables and the counter will be available on a first-come-first-served basis. Starting Tuesday, reservations for tables will be taken for Sept. 5 on, up to 30 days in advance. At the counter, seating is open but reservations will be taken for a 6 p.m. seating: (212) 350-6658.

The 9 course tasting at the Vegas L'Atelier ranges from $105-$115 depending on dishes included in the current menu.
Worth it.
