Daniel Boulud’s NYC French Steakhouse La Tete d’Or Will Impress Any Diner | Eater NY

"Daniel Boulud’s first steakhouse, La Tete d’Or, is a new-school Manhattan spot in Flatiron, open for lunch and dinner, where French touches abound — think a classic Lyonnaise salad as a nod to his hometown, tableside carts, and potatoes served eight ways. Steps from Madison Square Park, the crowd mixes investment bankers, out-of-towners, and families; there’s a martini on just about every table, the wine is flowing, and you can tell business deals are being made as romantic relationships move to the next level. For showmanship, the $130 prime rib is carved tableside from a cart and comes with creamed spinach, pommes puree, and a popover. Steakhouse stalwarts share the spotlight with standout non-steak options: the frisee rillons salad with chicken liver croutons and a runny egg, and a beautifully spiced Sasso chicken that’s as satisfying as any steak. The smallest seafood tower, priced at $130 and listed “for two,” easily feeds four if you’re also ordering a salad or another appetizer, and it includes the classics — clams, oysters, shrimp — plus thoughtful standouts like marinated razor clams and mussels. For a group of four, ask for a booth to take in the luxe trappings of the David Rockwell-designed dining room and watch the orchestra of servers and diners unfold." - Stephanie Wu
