nymag Adam Platt: “The wine list is notably varied for a restaurant this size. I like the Don David Michel Torino ’07 Malbec.”
The New York Times Looks casual. It isn't: those small plates taste big. You'll wantcharcuterie, cod fritters, pork belly, wine. S'mores to finish, ofcourse.
nymag You can get one of our fav tasting menus here (five or seven courses) and this re-invented French spot is also one of the year’s best restaurants from Where to Eat 2011!
The Wall Street Journal From the short, but diverse, brunch menu, try the dish of perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs with a tangy green salad, potatoes cooked in duck fat and three strips of bacon.
@A.G. Wine - iPhone/iPad For a nice white wine (and a great value), opt for Domaine Mardon's Quincy; this Loire Valley appellation produces rounder, mineral-driven versions of sauvignon blanc; 2009's good vintage. Enjoy!
Bullfrog & Baum One of Sifton's favorites of 2010 this small spot had a huge year. Jesse Schenker's is menu is always changing but some staples are the Salt Cod Fritters and the Berkshire Pork Belly.
Wendy The smores dessert is a must-try. Kudos to pastry chef Christine Lee!
Jo C.Mondays with Jesse series is the best!
Interni Magazine The second coming of Jesse Schenker and Christina Lee's Recette serves up "contemporary" American food with French technique.
Josephine S.Adorable and quaint! Get the hamachi app and lobster risotto or scallops!
Nicole B.Definitely go for the pork belly & s'mores dessert. If you want. Lighter starter, the arugula salad is killer.
cally b.tasting menu is the way to do it here!
Foodspotting Try the Berkshire Pork Belly and spot it on Foodspotting!
Foodspotting Try the Roasted Scallops and spot it on Foodspotting!
Charlie305 S.Amazing food wonderful ambiance. Try the halibut, branzino and cheeses. Ask for jess to be your waitress. She's great. NYT write up last week. Stroll through the village to walk off the calories
Stephen B.Pork belly is solid. Try the poussin too
Meryl C.Do not miss the Razor Clams and the Fluke. Also - make sure Young helps you with your wine choices. Spot on!
Erica B.Bit of an expensive foodie destination with not much to back it up. Won't be back but buffalo sweetbreads were quite deelish. Nothing much else to mention -_-
Becky S.Get the tasting menu, truly shows you the depth of the menu.
Kate H.For brunch menu, scallop salad and the sweet pea soup with foie gras is amazing. For wine, there's a $60 Chardonnay that's great
Risa Grub Street off-menu dish: Foie-and-Langoustine Wellington. "Instead of beef Wellington, the staff swaps in langoustine & fatty goose liver into a tiny puff pastry shell w a Japanese red curry sauce."
Mike C.Try the PB&J French Toast - So good I had to post one more shot (via @Foodspotting)
Georges D.Get there (i.e. book) after 9:30pm when the restaurant gets less crowded, otherwise it can be noisy. Great service!
HipHostessNYC Quintessential West Village spot. The spicy sweetbreads satisfy, as does the scallops and lobster risotto. The special Caipirinha made with apple/beet juice and fresh ginger, fantastic.
Jason R.Try the Pumpkin Espuma - #light and #pumpkiny with perfect scallops (via @Foodspotting)
Halstead Property A Parisian inspired Thanksgiving meal is on the menu including pumpkin espuma with bay scallops, pear, roasted sablefish with chicken dumplings & turkey roulade with chestnut and cranberries.
Kim D.The chef's tasting menus are the best! Do not miss the foie gras!!
vinise w.I would go back purely for the deconstructed smores dessert...a MUST!
Michal K.Food is awesome, service is atrocious.
