Profile

This venue is closed.

The grandiose hotel blowout has been a New York culinary tradition for nearly a century, and in recent years the place for that blowout was unquestionably Lespinasse at the St. Regis. But that gilded room closed, and our choice for its successor (with apologies to Messrs. Ducasse and Vongerichten) is Atelier, at the new Ritz Hotel. Ducasse and Jean-Georges are institutions unto themselves, but as soon as you walk into Atelier, you know you’re at the Ritz. The bar is manned by a gentleman (Norman) who has been at one Ritz or another for a thousand years. There’s a  chef producing inventive Francophile dishes. And, if you’re feeling really grandiose, there are several varieties of caviar ranging between $30 to $450, depending on what is ordered. After all, the Ritz is still the Ritz.

Great lunch value, but...

...this place was dull swank. A typical Ritz experience, safe and expensive, taking no chances. Prix fixe lunch is a bargan, given the lovely though not sparkling decor, the quiet atmosphere, and the touches of luxury. But the scene is sleepy compared to Jean Georges, just a few blocks away.

Whatever you do....GET the Chef's Tasting Menu. You can even substitute if you think you won't like one of the courses. True, you'll be there for hours, but it's definitely time well spent. The foie gras was so good it left me teary-eyed! Handy tip: PACE YOURSELF. There's way more food than you could ever eat, but you'll want to eat it all. Don't want to peter out with four courses left to go!
