Dennis Foy has spent his career floating between his restaurants in New Jersey (Foy’s and Bay Point Prime, among others) and Manhattan (most recently EQ, and before that, Mondrian, where he was Tom Colicchio’s boss). He's reemerged in Tribeca, where he’s outfitted the former Lo Scalco space with gold-leafed walls, silk-swathed light fixtures, and a number of his own paintings. Foy hopes to attract a regular neighborhood clientele with what he considers moderate prices by local standards, and his seasonal French-American menu dabbles in the new vanguard of food science. “I find it stimulating and applicable to certain dishes,” says Foy, who plans to garnish his torchon of foie gras with “Eis and Snow”—Eiswein gelée and crystalized flakes of foie gras. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Bad Dining Experience

It figures that Dennis Foy would make NY Mag's list of restaurants with recession specials. I recently took my girlfriend to dinner here and had a very bad dining experience. My number one complaint is that the service was atrocious. They have clearly scaled back their staff as literally one person was responsible for seating guests, working the bar and serving the entire restaurant. After being seated, it took 15 minutes to even get acknowledgment and a glass of water (mind you, the restaurant was modestly filled). It took another 15 minutes for the waitress to bring over the bottle of wine we ordered. We finally placed our order and it took approximately 45 minutes for the appetizers to arrive and didn't receive our main course until an hour after that. Perhaps the lone waitress was responsible for cooking the meals as well or Dennis Foy was napping in the kitchen. During our 2.5 hour dinner excursion at Dennis Foy's, the food was undercooked and average at best, the atmosphere was lamentable and other disgruntled diner's had come and gone after being ignored for an inordinate amount of time. I will never eat here again.

A great experience!

My family has been going to Dennis Foy's restaurants in the Jersey shore for years, so we were excited to find out he had a new spot in Tribeca. I had dinner there on Saturday and the food was unbelievable (as usual). Started with gnocci and his signature crab cakes, then my father had fish and i had the strip steak - very buttery, yummy outside. And then we feasted on a couple of the desserts. Besides the great food, the crowd was really nice - more local new yorkers, less touristy than other spots in the neighborhood. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves great food and a great dining experience.
