"A fashion-world favorite famous for its high-priced caviar and tiny, performative bites that create the impression of eating more than they satisfy. The caviar — served with a mother-of-pearl spoon — is often considered the only truly worthwhile item, while other dishes can be hit-or-miss (a buttery king-crab tagliolini contrasted with an overcooked halibut that was sent back). The place has a reputation as a chic, slightly theatrical spot for small, expensive tastings." - E. Alex Jung
