"Praised by the Post’s Steve Cuozzo as "the best new restaurant East Midtown has seen in a long, long time," Le Jardinier — a modern restaurant from Michelin-starred chef Alain Verzeroli that offers indoor and outdoor seating along with a to-go menu — is critiqued in the same review for overstating its vegetable-driven messaging: Cuozzo notes there are only a few vegetarian dishes and no vegan ones and calls the French-influenced menu a "strapping, anything-but-light ticket to gut-busting bliss — cloaked in 'green' hype," while singling out Verzeroli’s grilled bavette with fiddlehead ferns as his favorite beef dish of the year." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
