Graham Elliot Review

Guests groove to the tunes of Wilco and the Police while sampling chef Graham Elliot Bowles's inventive fare, some of which foodies may recognize from the chef's stint orchestrating elaborate tasting menus at Avenues. Yet much of the menu, from scallop almondine to Wagyu beef, will satisfy diners in far fewer courses than the old Avenues tasting menu did. Yet the boisterous space with exposed-brick walls succeeds in combining a casual vibe with fine-dining flourish. Bowles calls it "bistronomic"; his fans simply call it good eating.
