Distinctively housed at the base of the Grace building, this modern dining room happens to be perfect for celebrating special occasions. Dishes reflect global sensibilities with a strong creative edge, as in the langoustine tartare topped with a crispy tuile and enriched with cauliflower cream. Foie gras arrives in myriad guises, perhaps as a seared lobe as rich as custard, surrounded by roasted quince, chestnuts and vanilla gastrique. Old-school luxuries extend right through to the cheese trolley. The cocktail list is dedicated to the history of Bryant Park across the street, while as an homage to the eponymous chef’s Alsatian heritage, the wine selection prominently features rieslings, pinot blancs and gewürztraminers.
