Profile

A renovation did nothing to disguise the comforting, cosseting old-world feel of this Sutton Place landmark, where tuxedo'd captains oversee tableside service. Order medalions of veal in a cream morrel mushroom sauce, or a salmon fillet molded into the shape of a petite mignon. There are lighter dishes as well, like turbot (with a lacy glaze of comté cheese) and a succession of luminous soups. Try the Floating Island for dessert, but be sure to dress in proper attire, or be banished to the back room. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

NYC has plenty of opportunities for those who want daring, nuevo, French cuisine. Yet, its always nice to return to places like Perigord which delight with their, always exquisite, dishes.

A French French restaurant

By chance we ate here on Valentines Day - the worst night of the year to eat at any restaurant so we got to see the kitchen and staff working under the worst of conditions - and we enjoyed our whole evening. It was just like being back in Paris - the food was very good, nicely presented and cooked just-so: Fois gras maison/lamb/cheese, escargots/turbot/floating-islands. The service is old-school French: correct and - given the day - efficient and friendly-enough. But - not touchey-feeley, so not for the inexperienced diner, perhaps. The better you are dressed - the better the service. Pretty good wine list - could do with a better selection of half-bottles, but that can be said of many places.
