Fodor's Review:

Robin Williams and Robert De Niro were among the first backers of this clubby, cherrywood-lined restaurant, part of the Drew Nieporent empire, but this is no Hollywood-style hot spot. And even though good chefs have come and gone, the kitchen always seems to be in talented hands. The loyal clientele -- mostly suits, male and female -- appreciates the sophisticated after-work bar atmosphere, top-notch (though pricey) food, and the big, smart wine list. The seasonal menu -- duck prosciutto salad, matsutake mushroom-coated turbot, seared scallops with braised endive -- suits Rubicon's understated glamour. Try for a seat in the handsome downstairs room; the upstairs space is plainer.
