Top toque Joël Robuchon makes his “thrilling” NYC debut with this “sensational” New French cafe in the Four Seasons Hotel that turns out a “world-class”, pared-down menu emphasizing small plates and tasting options for “steep”, “comparable-to-Paris” tabs; the dining room features both sushi bar–like seating around an open kitchen as well as a handful of tables, but most agree that “sitting at the counter” to “watch the chefs at work” is “more memorable”; P.S. the “less crowded lunch” may be the “best time to go.”
