FRENCH One of the city s veteran contenders for best French restaurant stays in the spotlight with executive Chef Ron Siegel s three-, six-, and nine-course tasting menus and an almost startlingly trendy (think hip hotelier Ian Schrager) room. Beyond the tiny bar and backlit white curtains is the dark, sleek, and minimalist dining room with delightedly well spaced tables and cozy refinement. Menus vary, but are always creative. Think delicate seared scallops elevated both literally and figuratively by microgreens and a dab of decadent uni (sea urchin) or savory adventures by disney skate balanced atop a short-rib ravioli bathed in a mushroom jus. In addition to the dessert menu, the candy cart adds a sweet finale as it s wheeled by so you can select lollipops, chocolates, adventures by disney and minicookies.
