DB Bistro Moderne - Where French and American Cuisine Mix and Match |
|
|
Have you ever wondered whether American-style cuisine can be combined with
other forms of international cuisine - such as French cuisine, for example?
Well, at DB Bistro Moderne, French and American cuisine not only intermarry
but produce offspring as well, in the form of new types of dishes that
emphasize simplicity in the use of high-quality ingredients and reflect the
changes of the seasons.
This bistro serves food under the aegis of Gallic chef Daniel Boulud, who
was inspired by the advent of bistros in Paris that are manned by chefs who
rely on their classical training to develop innovative dishes. The bistro
maintains a comfortable and casual atmosphere that smacks of modern touches
as well. Boulud is able to infuse the youthful aspects of the New York City
restaurant scene with Gallic features into the DB Bistro Moderne world. One
reason to head for DB Bistro Moderne is that it is popular with many
celebrities, so if you're the type to eat out in the hopes of spotting a
familiar and famous face, this could be the place for you. DB Bistro
Moderne is also known as a singles hang-out so if you prefer to meet up
with friends and acquaintances as well as introduce yourself to total
strangers, then perhaps the bistro can help you in that aspect as well. The
full bar can serve to warm you up before a walk to the nearby theatre
district (one of the things that makes the bistro so convenient to visit,
even after the performance is over.)
Like many fine-dining establishments, quality food and service comes at
quite a price. DB Bistro Moderne is no exception to this rule since it is
considered an expensive restaurant to dine in. If you find high prices to
be objectionable, you can request for the lunch prix fixe - where a two-
course meal (inclusive of appetizer, main course and dessert) costs from
$35 to $40. La carte entrees for lunch are priced at $28 to $36 while la
carte entrees for after-theatre and dinner run to $29 to $36 as well. A
three-course dinner or before-theater Prix Fixe costs a flat $45.
Sometimes, the preparation of your food order may take a bit of time but
rest assured the wait is really worth it since dishes are cooked properly
and taste great. One popular item on the menu is the DB Burger (priced at
$29) which has short ribs flavored with truffle and foie gras in it, and
may have pommes souffl�s as an additional order served with it. Another
recommended dish is the bistro's Alsatian-style choucroute garnie whose
heaping portions prove why it is so popular with regulars.
You may reserve space in DB Bistro Moderne for up to month before the day
itself. Reservations can be done through the Internet or by phone. Payment
options accepted are Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, and American Express.
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
