    We love Chef Gabriel Kreuther's lunch menu, which highlights dishes like quail terrine with shaved fennel and liverwurst with pickled mushrooms.

    Had the beef cheeks last night. Made me want to do naughty things afterwards. Literally wiped the sauce off my plate clean with some baguette.

    high falutin' fare for a high falutin' night! Start out at MoMa...eat here...end up over at Radio City or Carnegie Hall. Kicking it high class!

    They don't offer fries on the menu, but they do have them and they're great. Just ask for them. (The wild mushroom soup is great - the lobster pappardelle and gnocchi are a bit too salty.)

    The foie gras terrine blew any foie that I have ever had including the foie that I had at Per Se.

    The wild mushroom soup is a fave!! Spaetzle sounds random but is a fantastically delicious dish, beautiful texture and flavour combo.

    Crazy bag check system. No back packs allowed by can't leave cameras and valuables in the bag you check. End up carrying a clear plastic bag around. Solution: take a see through back pack!

    Nothing beats the triumvirate of Liam, Anthony, and Juan Alberto at the bar on a Thursday night!! I love these guys. Also, they will protect you from the sleazy, slurring old guys on expense accounts

    The prix fix menu is a good value, you get several extra little dishes & lots of chocolate at the end.

    I may have just picked the wrong plates, but I just was not a fan of this place. For the cost it did not measure up. Food was not special and sommelier not willing to help pair wines seemed very odd.

    I don't have enough good things to say about the chicken stuffed with pistachios. The scallops were far too salty, however.

    Pink champagne, cavatelli, foie gras and chocolate beignets. Skip the crab fritters, not impressed.

    Run, do not walk to the bar and order the Crispy Shrimp with foam lemongrass dipping sauce (touch of jalepeno makes it soar).

    Get the tarte flambé (flammekueche). It's the Alsatian version of pizza! Split it, though--it's crazy rich.
