With more than a dozen restaurants around the world—and an ever-busy TV schedule—you're not likely to find British chef Gordon Ramsay at his eponymous Midtown restaurant. What you will find, however, are Ramsay's trembling acolytes producing flawless facsimiles of his classically muted haute cuisine. The flagship fine-dining restaurant is an exorbitant time commitment, with menus that start at $110 for three courses. It is hidden behind opaque glass doors just beyond the comparatively casual, and much more reasonably priced, Maze. The lower-key annex, in a silver-gray dining room, specializes in elegant small-plate cuisine (often very small). Although dinner is a mix-and-match affair, the $45 prix-fixe three-course lunch is one of the top bargains in Midtown.
