Downtown Manhattan Restaurant Scenes, Ranked - New York - The Infatuation

"We once heard an employee at Fouquet's discussing a time an eight-year-old snapped at them for delivering lukewarm food. And that makes so much sense. Fouquet’s is not a democratic restaurant. It is not for the people. Unless the people you’re talking about are Tribeca billionaires who feed their kids caviar. The crowd here prefers designer everything, and half the chairs at any given time seem to be occupied by expensive handbags. Beautiful place, but a bit much. Great steak tartare, though." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
