 The cuisine here, which owners Rick Tramonto and Gale Gand peg as progressive French, is to die for. The offerings, served as three-course prix-fixe or tasting menu collections, are splendidly creative but also emanate from a position of intelligence and know-how. This is food that is immaculate in its conception, precise in its presentation, and almost always perfectly realized in flavor. Start with the sturgeon caviar service, which the restaurant has become famous for; it’s presented on a miniature-in-glass staircase, the steps holding its accoutrements. And don’t pass by whole-roasted foie gras with celery and heirloom apple either. Not to be upstaged, black truffle risotto with fava beans and lobster or Muscovy duck carpaccio might appear atop a slab of marble. Desserts, which are the forte of Gand, promise to make you swoon---all the while mingling purpose and whimsy. Almond-violet mousse with poached rhubarb and a lemon “sponge” is one such example. And the not-your-usual, layered lemon meringue pie? It’s a marvelous creation. Not surprisingly, the crisp setting---complete with well-spaced tables---is as sleek as the cuisine. Dessert-only service is offered 9 p.m.-10:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 10:30 p.m.-11:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday. |
