| Strings is one of those places that, when you call to make reservations, the hostess sounds positively pleased to hear from you. And once you walk through the bright red door, the staff makes you feel like a regular---even if it's your first time. It's crowded with lawyers who lunch, socialites planning the next big benefit and just plain folks enjoying food in a friendly atmosphere. The décor is light, with mid-century modern chairs and floor-to-ceiling windows. Specials change every day depending on the season and the culinary mood of chef Lance Barto. For starters, we like the beef carpaccio with mustard, onions, capers and freshly ground Parmesan or the potato gnocchi with fava beans, cipollini onions, beurre noisette and hazelnuts. Soups are always innovative, like roasted red pepper and tomato bisque or spicy gazpacho with shrimp and tomato sorbet. Main courses are equally good: a creamy risotto with porcini mushrooms or, maybe, with crab and the zest of lemon; cashew-crusted sea bass with vanilla-butter sauce, couscous and citrus relish; and seafood stew with lobster, clams, mussels and angel hair pasta. Desserts can be as humble as homemade sorbet served with sugar cookies or as sinfully rich as chocolate mousse cake. The wine list is classic and comprehensive with many offerings by the glass. |
