Profile

Civilized and low-key, iCi has many charms, not the least of which are expert mom-and-pop service and a peaceful, uncramped garden where the bilingual conversational hum rarely rises above a discreet peal of laughter. The menu is equally impressive—gently priced and more seasonal than the typically formulaic New York French bistro. A cool sweet-pea purée is full of fresh spring flavor and a crisp-skinned chicken with lemon couscous is a paragon of the regulation-bistro form. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
