 Georges Perrier has reinvented his beloved Le Bec-Fin---to keep up with changing times, a crunched economy and to give himself some breathing room. In so doing, he did away with the fixed-price dinner menus and set seating times that have been synonymous with Le Bec-Fin since it opened in 1970. Another change is the exit of talented chef de cuisine Pierre Calmels. But rest assured that Perrier and the team are producing the top French fare for which Le Bec-Fin is known. Gentlemen no longer have to wear jackets---and even haute denim is just fine. Signature dishes (airy crab cake, poached salmon in olive oil, pork tenderloin with truffle mashed potatoes) remain (à la carte) along with a new menu of appetizers ($11 endive salad to a $17 tuna tartare with caviar) and entrées ($17 for pasta to $68 côte de bœuf for two). The idea is that two can now dine for $100---although you can easily spend more, with the help of master sommelier Christophe Tassan who will gently guide you through the restaurant’s impressive wine list which leans heavily towards the borders of France while acknowledging new-world and American options. Yes, the all-you-can-eat dessert cart will remain, as will the cheese cart. And the gorgeous setting with its crystal chandeliers and tuxedoed staff still awaits.
