We are honored to participate in EAT250: America at the Table with a special collaboration between Maître Artisan and Chef Sébastien Giannini of L’Avant-Garde and Chef Andrew Ho of CUT by Wolfgang Puck.

Ode to Escoffier celebrates the enduring influence of French culinary traditions on American gastronomy through an elegant multi-course dinner inspired by technique, hospitality, and craftsmanship in the presence of honorary guest, Her Excellency, the Ambassador of Monaco.

Join us on June 25 at L’Avant-Garde for an evening honoring the culinary foundations that continue to shape the American table.

Four courses with wine pairings included $150 ++

Summer in the city, sorted!

Escape the heat and linger over fresh, Riviera inspired salads, crisp, cool Sancerre and the best fries you ever had (they are cooked in clarified butter IYKYK)

A bientôt 🥂

Date night, anyone?

Two seats at the bar. A bottle of something cold and French. Caviar between you. The kind of evening you’ll think about all week.

No reservations required!

A small dish that says everything. French Riviera-style turned potatoes, candied lemon, capers, lemon beurre blanc. Classic technique, bright finish, the South of France in a few careful bites. This dish reminds us of a weekend well spent!

Did someone say duck magret?

Crisp-skin seared duck. Red cabbage. Caramelized Gala apples. A demi-glace finished with clove. Every element earning its place on the plate.

A French bistro classic, elevated.

Spring lingers a little longer. Our four-course Asparagus Menu is staying on through the end of May: marinated tuna with cucumber gazpacho, burratina with citrus vinaigrette, seared Riviera branzino with white asparagus and beurre blanc, and Ultimate Chocolate to finish.

A perfectly balanced progression. Light, vibrant, deeply satisfying for only $69, Tuesday through Saturday evenings.

The swirl isn't a performance. It's a conversation.

It wakes the wine, releases the aromatics, and tells you before the first sip exactly what's about to unfold. Stone fruit. Sea salt. Smoke. Whatever the bottle has to say.

Santé!
