Michy's Description:
Chef-owner Michelle Bernstein, formerly of Azul in the Mandarin Oriental, and husband David Martinez are behind this Upper Eastside 50-seater. With classically trained French chops and a head for interpreting trends without going overboard she offers up dishes that range from foie gras torchon with cherry jam on brioche crisps to beet salad with blue cheese espuma and candied walnuts to crispy sweetbreads and veal cheek ravioli with English pea purée and veal jus. Nearly every plate is offered as a half- or full-portion. A raw bar with tartares and ceviches; a brightly designed room done in oranges and blues; and an intensely vetted, 100-bottle wine list invigorate the dining experience, but there is a caveat: acoustics. The bistro bustle and cramped quarters make for plenty of eavesdropping opportunities, especially during the calmer lunch hour. So leave your secrets at home.
