"If this very grown-up Midtown place remains the one to beat despite astronomical prices and what many consider a too-sedate corporate decor, it's because of Ripert's always-evolving menu."

"Dining doesn't get much more "blissful" than at this "sublime" Midtown French seafooder via Maguy Le Coze and chef Eric Ripert."

"Keith McNally, Riad Nasr, and Lee Hanson lord over rehab of historic resto into cool brasserie. Classic black and white tile look, retro in the best possible way."
