$$$-$$$$, Steak, Flatiron District
Fodor's Review:
A masculine, vivacious space is the showcase for Laurent Tourondel's third "BLT" restaurant featuring Franco-American cuisine. The menu is scrawled on a black wall. Everything is served à la carte, and prices are high, but so is the quality of every dish. Tourondel has brought his signature steaming-hot Gruyère popovers downtown from BLT Steak. They're light and buttery with an addictive texture. A smoked wild boar gravy is the perfect sauce for lightly stinging fresh black-pepper pappardelle. Although there are poultry, veal, and lamb dishes on the menu, steaks are the main event. The dry-aged USDA prime steaks are broiled at 1,700, spread lightly with herb butter and offered with a choice of sauce (the béarnaise is perfection).
