Description
Chefs Samuel Clonts and Raymond Trinh bypass structured tasting menus, opting instead for an inventive à la carte menu. The kitchen turns out plates like smoked eel tarte tatin with caviar, clams, and langoustine beignets, alongside a weekend prix-fixe brunch. Because portion sizes lean small, the dishes are ideal for sharing in a small group. The drink selection includes a martini with caviar service, which comes accompanied by a spread of accouterments.
