My spouse and I dined here in mid-January 2011 after much anticipation, and the restaurant lived up to the hype in our opinion. It’s very unassuming, both from the street and inside, a really comfortable atmosphere, even though the tables are quite close together. We used Open Table to make our reservation a few weeks in advance. The food was beautifully presented, using unique ingredients and feature the innovative preparations for which chef Wylie Dufresne is famous.
Our tasting menu follows. We did NOT do the $85 wine pairing (10 glasses). This was a pricey dinner, but very interesting and memorable.

Everything bagel, smoked salmon threads, crispy cream cheese
Foie gras, passionfruit, Chinese celery
