The
Atmosphere
Understated elegance, with a rigorous attention to the minutiae
of the fine-dining experience. The small dining room, brightened
by enormous floral arrangements, creates a feeling of comfort.
Tastefulness rules--muted yellow walls, generous spacing between
tables and handwritten menus designed by artists on the order of
John Cage, Roy Lichtenstein and Keith Haring. Few spots are
better for an evening spent with a loved one.
The
Food
David Waltuck's menu changes monthly, but a host of
favorites--like the famous seafood sausage appetizer, served
atop a splash of beurre blanc--remain permanent fixtures.
Waltuck's food is built upon the grandiose backbone of classical
French fare, but looks to more outre ingredients from Asia and
regional American farms for flash and spark.
