Orik Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Seems like a potentially very good French Japanese place. Whether the genre is viable in NYC right now I dunno Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whether the genre is viable in NYC right now I dunno The cuisine is like Shun, where the chef previously worked, though the atmospherics may not be as luxurious. We loved Shun. Went three times. (It and its sister restaurant Le Jardinair, which we didn’t like, have not reopened yet.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I assume nobody got here yet? Price is comparable with Angie Mar’s place, approved by Sneak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Better than I expected. The à la carte carte has expanded some since they opened. Solid. Not as fussy as I feared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The foie gras torchon with rhubarb and lavender, while nothing you haven't had before, is Seasonally Correct -- and like everything here, immaculately prepared. The roast squab is about perfect. MUCH better, I think, than the somewhat similar -- and more elaborate -- dish at Mena. (See, I was expecting this to be fussied-up, too. But it wasn't. Sure it had a glaze and a sauce -- but it just came across as a particularly succulent roast squab.) You don't want to hear about it, but the white chocolate dessert is very good. So, bottom line: not over-elaborate, not showy. Just very good Modern French. I mean, it could stand to be cheaper. (Especially because those prices draw the kind of crowd I am not used to spending time with.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AaronS Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 is this better than the angie mar place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 It's objectively better, even if I like the Angie Mar place more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I mean, it's a different style of food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
