Resto Review Recap

Matsugen, James, and "Green" Dining

127645
  • Frank Bruni of the Times gives three stars today to Matsugen (left) for its "obsessive attention to detail." He especially likes the noodles ("never too floppy or too firm") and the "startling" desserts. [NYT]
  • The Post's Steve Cuozzo checks out Matsugen, too, but the "ordinary" shrimp and overpriced Wagyu ribeye leave him less than enthusiastic. [NYP]

Restaurant Review Recap

Szechuan Gourmet, Sheridan Sq. and More Matsugen

  • Frank Bruni hands out two stars to Szechuan Gourmet in Midtown where, he says, "the heat is almost always on, and it comes at you in different ways." [NYT]
  • Danyelle Freeman of the Daily News is pleased enough with Sheridan Square to give it two stars, even though the restaurant's chef, Gary Robins, walked out the door last week. [NYDN]
  • GQ's Alan Richman pays a visit to Persimmon Kimchi House. Despite some reservations about Korean cooking, he walks away pretty happy with the $37, fixed-price, four-course menu. [Style.com]
  • Ryan Sutton of Bloomberg News hits up Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Matsugen, deeming it "a worthy, albeit noisier heir to Honmura An, the Zen-like soba temple that closed last year." [Bloomberg]
  • Paul Adams of the Sun checks in on Marc Meyer and Vicki Freeman's Hundred Acres, which was formerly Provence. [NY Sun]

Restaurant Review Recap

Benoit, Hundred Acres, Alloro

125216
  • New York's Adam Platt spanks Alain Ducasse's new brasserie Benoit with a zero-star review. Some of his least favorite dishes? The lobster ravioli (a "viscous mess"), cassoulet (tastes like it was "preheated in a microwave"), and the steak tartare ("dressed with enough horseradish to choke a cow.") [NYM]
  • The Times' Frank Bruni wasn't quite as unhappy, handing over a single star. Bruni found the baguettes "adorable" and the halibut "delicious," but couldn't excuse the place for bungling the "must-ace dish" of roasted chicken. [NYT]
