Week in Reviews: Best Bites
- "Those who order carefully can partake of fabulous meals," says Sifton of Oceana. "A towering order of king crab legs is perfectly cooked and addictive; it would be easy, if there were money enough and time, to eat this dish weekly for a year." [Sifton; NYT]
- Platt is less enthusiastic about what he calls a "cavernous expense-account joint," though happy enough with "the striped bass, which goes surprisingly well with a sidecar of romesco sauce." [Platt; NYM]
- "There are occasional unsettling portents" at Quinto Quarto, where only the pastas "had a glimmer of promise." [Thompson; New Yorker]
- "Every visit to M & T proved a revelation," Sietsema raves, with dishes from the bizarre to a "delicious pork cutlet, pounded thin, soaked in sweet soy sauce, then breaded and fried." [Sietsema; VV]
- Three stars for A Voce Columbus, which joins the Italian "high-achieving, envelope-stretching class." Mezzaluna "filled with Taleggio cheese, butternut squash and sage were little pillows of pleasure too easily devoured." [Cuozzo; NYP]
- At Nolita's Travertine, a restaurant that succeeds despite its lively bar scene, the "monkfish tail, roasted then sliced thick, is technically flawless, with delicious red cabbage braised with apples and guanciale." [Cheshes; TONY]
