AAA Diamond Inspector Notes
Chef Christophe Bellanca, knows very well the world of French fine-dining, having rose to prominence as culinary director at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in New York and Miami. Now with his own restaurant in a relaxed minimalist setting on the Upper West Side, the restrained mood and contemporary menu is an evolution from the gilded opulence which chacterized the previous heavyweights from another era. The focus is on subtlety, with exquisitely conceived harmony in true perfection on small plates.
