    Disappointing

    My impression is that it's a grand rip off because the food is just OK while the prices are ridiculous. I have decided to stop going to restaurants that are obviously not able to negotiate fair rents with their landlord and add the extra cost of this rent rip-off to my dinner price. We have found better food for a fraction of these crazy prices in dining rooms that are equally as nice. This is a tourist trap, obviously.

    Great Dinner

    The food and wine was excellent. The atmosphere was very nice. Although every table was occupied, the noise was minimal and you did not heard other conversations.

    A Great Surprise

    having been in the main dining room area with friends a few times, I wanted my anniversary to be somewhat quieter - that is all . Adour could not have been more wonderful. We are not the Hallmark type, yet they had a table with side-by-side seating set, but offered us other options (we did choose their perfect situation); the service was discrete, yet right on time, the recommendations for wine were spot on and the food was ideal. The desert recommendations coupled with the wines advised were perfect. Highly, Highly praised and a great surprise.

    Naked Emperor

    It is sad to have to write such a disparaging review of a man who has done so much for French food, but this was one of the most disappointing meals I have eaten in New York. We were left waiting for our table for an hour without apology, and then we were essentially neglected for the remainder of the evening. The food, when it finally arrived, was pedestrian at best. Nothing that couldn't have been served at any of hundreds of other restaurants in the city. Nothing special, except when the check arrived. Frustrating, disappointing, infuriating.

    Expected More

    Enjoyed an anniversary dinner in the main dining area which is not very large but the acoustics made it seem more crowded than it really was and loud. The tables were also too close to one another, as I could clearly here the topic of the conversation of the next table. The lighting of the main chandelier was warm while the candles on the table looked like they were in styrafoam cups. The wine list was extensive and pricey. Compliments of the chef were puff balls with cheese inside, but the flavor of the batter overpowered the delicacy of the cheese inside. The lobster bisque with truffle was "velvety," so good! The foie gras ravioli dough was too AL DENTE and the filling was not up to our expectations. The main entree of pork toumedos was good but not tender enough while the smoked bass looked amazing with a mosaic of vegetables cut into circles and laid on top of the not so delicate and rather rubbery piece of fish. The accompanying jus did not add any flavor and yet was called "hearty." If you are to judge a meal by the finishing plate, it would win 4 stars (not 5 because the espresso was burnt)! The desserts were sublime and the portions big enough to share. We had the chocolate sorbet and the hazelnut torte. The sorbet came with bread croutons which gave it a crunch in texture but didn't add anything to the flavor. The mouse was delicate. The hazelnut dish laid on a crunchy, nutty bottom covered by hazelnut mouse and a sliver of chocolate with hazelnut ice cream which was very rich in flavor. It was really good. The complimentary macaroon cookies were average. Nice experience but from the Regis you would expect everything to be above average. The service was great at times but below average at others when the waiter bumped into our seat Oh, there are only 3 choices of bread which are pretty standard ( olive roll, baguette and sour dough roll), not warm or superb in quality. Two varieties of butter are available - regular and olive butter which is quite salty but interesting in taste. Average meal in a not so average setting.

    Excellent dining experience

    The food is superb. The foie gras ravioli was fantastic and the lobster salad appetizer was also very good. The lamb was also perfectly done and melted in my mouth. The room is beautiful but the side rooms feel a bit like eating in someone's living room. You can hear a bit too much of the table next to you. The desserts, although beautiful, were not as good to the taste as to the the sight. The service was both pleasant and attentive. The wine list is extremely extensive with a few affordable options. I'd definitely return.
