Acclaimed chef Laurent Tourondel of BLT restaurant fame takes over the space formerly home to the short-lived Brasserie Ruhlmann (Currently, he is executive chef at Brasserie Ruhlmann in Rockefeller Center in Manhattan).
The menu features signature items that BLT has become known for, such as Asian calamari salad, wood oven-baked figs and brick chicken Diablo. Of course, there are also steaks, a number of BLT specials and a raw bar.

Everything at this restaurant is good, but you won't be surprised with anything exceptional. While our salads and dessert were the standouts of the evening (easily 4 out of 5 stars), our entrees were mediocre (3 out of 5). Service was a bit inconsistent but friendly and helpful with the menu. Good place for a good dinner but falls short of something special.
