The very personal French food cooked by chef/owner Roland Passot is ambitious, showy, rich, and often delicious. At the newly redecorated (in tones of red, with fewer tables) La Folie, you choose among several prix fixe options: Menu Jardinière, Menu Cuistot, or assemble your own three-, four-, or five-course menu, at escalating prices. Truffles appear frequently, used to good effect. Even the artisanal cheese plate is all-French.

This dish is one of La Folie's best, at the same time modern and traditional: a ring of plump,... More »
For the full-on, top-notch, starry French experience, try this newly redecorated temple of luxury (subdued tones of rust and burgundy replace marionettes and harlequins, and tables are bigger and fewer). Here you can command a three-course ($60), four-course ($75), or five-course ($85) menu pulled together from soups and salads, appetizers, fish and shellfish, poultry and meat, desserts and cheeses.
