Fodor's Expert Review Maison

After helping to establish the Ordinary as one of the city's finest restaurants, chef Vandy Vanderwarker set out on his own to create an exquisite salute to classical French cuisine. The energetic dining room is relatively casual, but the technique is decidedly not; known as a chef's chef, Vanderwarker is revered for his tartare and fish quenelles. Don't miss the cocktails, either.
