David Burke & Donatella

Fodor's Review:

Don't be surprised if you encounter the Queen of Hearts perched above tables of lunching ladies and dapper businessmen in this formal yet stylish modern American restaurant. Deck-of-cards themed lithographs punctuate the serious atmosphere and foreshadow the whimsical stylings of chef David Burke, perhaps best known for his cheesecake lollipops served with bubble-gum-flavor whipped cream. Standouts include Dover sole with zucchini chips and tomato-mint butter, and homemade cavatelli with braised short ribs, wild mushrooms, mushroom chips and truffle mousse. During colder months, smokers can visit the adjacent "smoking room"—a white stretch limo that idles out front of the restaurant all evening long.
