"I admire Antoine Westermann’s devotion to poultry: the roasted, broiled, and fricasséed birds are consistently excellent at this bustling Flatiron house — consider the classic Alsatian Baeckoff for the table or an exceptional coq au vin at lunch — and though roast goose and whole quail appear from time to time, be sure to save room for ancien‑régime desserts like baba au rhum, profiteroles, and a giant mille‑feuille to share." - Adam Platt
