At still-sexy, still-sleek Radius, seasoned chef-owner Michael Schlow continues to nurture the talents of his underlings. The circular dining room seems warmer now than it did in its slate-gray early days, perhaps thanks to the fetching presence of general manager Esti Parsons. By contrast, service has always been a bit impersonal, but the professionalism is undeniable. The globally aware French menu is full of verve, as dishes like rabbit-bacon roulade with, shockingly enough, mint fondue and hoisin; seared halibut with fried oysters, capers and cornichons, not to mention smoked paprika; and a pine nut tart with wild mushroom ice cream and rosemary syrup cover all the flavor bases. That said, other kitchens have now caught up to Radius creativity-wise; it’s the bar scene that still feels special, its luxe cocktails and snacks like asparagus tempura with curried salt keeping it at the top of our list of after-work hot-spots.
