 When James Sakatos and Christian Delouvrier were asked to put together a new menu for the revamped Carlyle in late 2005, no one asked them to reinvent the wheel. After all, they were replacing acclaimed chef Jean-Louis Dumonet, which meant they just had to spin out near perfection befitting one of Manhattan’s great hotel restaurants. Now Sakatos is on his own in the kitchen and proving to be one of the city’s most underrated chefs. The crystal chandeliers, fox hunt paintings, and Jeeves-like service provide a fine environment for Sakatos’ creations, which have a decidedly traditional-meets-Mediterranean slant. It’s impossible to knock the carnaroli risotto which dances with flavor, thanks to the rock shrimp and sautéed hon shimeji mushrooms in a lobster reduction. The nugget of flaky black sea bass sits atop a pillow of fennel fingerling potatoes like a prized jewel. And the milk-fed veal chop, slightly tough to cut, melts when it hits the palate. For every dish, the globetrotting 63-page wine list has the ideal match, including some prize finds like a nice 1990 Prince Poniatowski “Aigle Blanc” from Vouvray. |
