Fodor's Review:

Daniel Patterson, who has made a name for himself both as a chef and as a pundit on contemporary restaurant trends, has had a restless career, but seems to have settled in at this intriguing 50-seat spot on the gritty end of Broadway. Coi (pronounced kwa) is really two restaurants. One is a 30-seat formal dining room—ascetic gold-taupe banquettes on two walls—that offers a four-course prix-fixe menu ($75), with three choices for each course, and an 11-course tasting menu ($105). The food matches the space in sophistication, with such inspired dishes as a delicate cauliflower-almond milk soup with green olives and Marcona almonds, or sautéed sea bream on braised lettuces dotted with cubes of spiced pork belly. The menu in the more casual—and more casually priced—lounge is à la carte, with just a dozen items, including a crisp-skinned roast chicken, a flavorful onion-bread soup, and a bourbon and Coke float with warm chocolate cookies. No reservations accepted for lounge; recommended for dining room.

The best of the best. Daniel Patterson is an absolute artist and food just happens to be his medium. I have eaten here 4 times and each time the experience is unique but one thing remains constant -- perfection. Daniel is certainly at the top of the chef food chain but after eating here you will wonder why Daniel isn't the most famous of them all. Expensive but worth the money in the amazing food and the amazing experience.
