The Elegant Main Dining Room
By Nancy Walman
Award-winning website, Punchin-dot-com, features the Walman Report and reviews of restaurants, travel, wine and theater. Petrossian NY was founded in 1984. The restaurant, housed in the historic Alwyn Court Building, one block from Carnegie Hall and four blocks from Lincoln Center, serves a French-influenced contemporary menu that features the caviar, smoked fish, and foie gras delicacies for which Petrossian is famous, but also sports a superb kitchen. Lunch, dinner, & brunch can be enjoyed at either the art deco style mirrored bar or in the dining room. The décor features Lalique crystal wall sconces, bronze sculptures from the 1930’s, etched Erté mirrors and Limoges china.
The $35 Prix fixe dinner (served all evening through Labor-day) is one of Manhattan’s best buys in luxury dining. Recommended dishes include blini, airy puffs of heaven, which a waiter dabs with crème fraiche and then adds caviar. An assortment of Petrossian’s Zakouskis (a variety of hors d’oeuvres) is another choice starter, as is the silky smoked salmon. There is a remarkable lobster risotto and the cold salmon with dilled potato salad from the prix fixe is delicious. All desserts are marvelous. Russian cheesecake with dried fruits and candied brittle (a special) and the gianduja chocolate cake (for two) steal the show. Drink iced Petrossian vodka (very smooth) or one of the excellent Champagnes. Service is as good as it gets and Petrossian, 182 West 58th Street, is one of NY’s best “Fine Dining” restaurants and rates A Major on the Walman Report.
