Bar Americain

Fodor's Review:

Chef Bobby Flay's largest Manhattan restaurant is the soaring Bar Americain. The 200-seat two-story space looks like a dining room on a luxury liner. Southern-inflected brasserie fare includes Dungeness crab griddle cakes, smoked chicken with hatch-green chili spoon bread and black-pepper vinegar sauce, and roasted duck breast surrounded by dirty wild rice with bourbon-soaked pecans. Slightly naughtier are the éclairs piped with whiskey-infused pastry cream and burnished with a burnt-sugar glaze. Prices are fairly high, but you get what you pay for.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
