"At Le Jardin in the Hotel de Russie you pay for the cinematic courtyard garden setting — citrus trees, fountains, and swooping green parakeets — as much as the food, and the seasonal antipasti and contorni are complemented by a generous gluten-free bread basket (including a delicious olive bread) while staff happily accommodated our request for gluten-free saltimbocca; tables sit outdoors in warm weather or under a giant glass-paneled heated structure in cooler months, and the white-tuxedoed servers (well-versed in dietary restrictions) add to the vibe, making lunch there a full experience." - Luke Pyenson
