The Scene
A shockingly no-holds-barred assault of the garish. Liberace showed more restraint in choosing costumes than did interior designer Barbara Lazaroff (Puck's wife) when decorating the Chinois dining room. There's simply so much to the design that it's impossible for any elements to seem congruent--not the '80s cocaine art paintings, nor the life-size ostrich sculptures that loom like hungry zoo animals between tables.

The Food
The culinary fusion taking place at Chinois is largely one between French and Chinese cuisines. Grilled squab with pan-fried noodles, sauteed mushrooms and a foie gras salpicon is a good example of the approach, though it's one of the rare dishes that suffers from super-abundance. A better choice is the tea-smoked duck with pear puree and a razor-sweet, five-spice plum sauce. Japanese influences mark the menu as well, such as the tempura ahi tuna sashimi with uni sauce.
