Fodor's Expert Review Le Garage

For more than 33 years, this former garage has been a bar-bistro awash in red-plush seating and mirrored walls—perfect for local glitterati who like to see and be seen. The menu uses French cuisine as its starting point and the steak tartare prepared tableside is a favorite, along with the authentic crème brûlée made with an old-fashioned brûlée iron. Other choices include more modern dishes like the tuna pizza. There is plenty of Champagne, fine wine, and a so-called "la-di-da theater menu" to prove this place is posh.
