Review By Nancy Walman

Nieporent Plus Liebrandt Equals a Dynamite Duo

Award-winning website, Punchin-dot-com, features the Walman Report and reviews of restaurants, travel, wine and theater. Located in the heart of Tribeca, Corton is a partnership between renowned iconic Photo of Mr. Nieporent, Courtesy of Myriad.

chef Paul Liebrandt (above). Corton, which was previously occupied by the well-respected Montrachet for more than 20 years, reflects a light and intimate style.

With 65 seats, the serene dining room features vine and leaf embossed walls, vaulted ceilings, natural-toned chairs and inviting banquettes. Chef Liebrandt’s modern French menu melds the tradition of classical cuisine with a contemporary approach to ingredients and technique. The flavors are clean, precise and intense. The restaurant offers a three-course prix fixe menu, $76 – and Tasting Menu -$110 (amazingly affordable for the quality). The menu follows. Toss a coin, but don’t miss such luscious compositions as Nantucket Bay Scallops in Uni Crème, Maine Lobster with Tarragon Mustard and Squab with Chestnut Crème and Smoked Bacon. All of the preparations are exquisite.

The Corton hill is the largest area of Grand Cru in Burgundy and the wine list features many selections from the region. In addition, a reserve list offers an extended portfolio of world-class wines.Reserve wines are housed offsite in a temperature controlled facility and are available with 24 hours notice. Corton, 239 West Broadway, is the most serious-intentioned restaurant to open in 2008, a must on every serious foodies’ list, and rates A Major on The Walman Report.
