George Morrone is back, this time with an intimate and relatively casual downtown spot dedicated to the raw and rare. Aptly named Tartare, the restaurant's menu lists five tartares including a classic hand-cut beef, an ostrich with cracked pink peppercorns, and Morrone's ahi tuna infused with habanero.

George Morrone is back, this time with an intimate and relatively casual downtown spot dedicated to the raw and rare. Aptly named Tartare, the restaurant's menu lists five tartares including a classic hand-cut beef, an ostrich with cracked pink peppercorns, and Morrone's ahi tuna infused with habanero. Four soups grace the simple menu. A modernized French onion soup arrives with a Gruyère tuile, and the trio of chilled heirloom tomato is enriched with an avocado mousseline. Another Morrone classic, the tuna and foie gras melt, shows up on the entrée list. A tender poussin is poached in almond milk and sour lime. To indulge in the duck fat french fries one should order the Meyer Angus bone-in sirloin. The bountiful wine list was chosen by sommelier Steven Geddes and Rajat Parr. Soothing honey and caramel tones warm the room decorated with lattice accents of wood and leather.
