The Scene
A throwback to the private clubs of the '50s, when men were men, meat was meat, and the ruling class favored shades of beige, Black Orchid is swank, hushed, and frequented by well-to-do, well-preserved persons of a certain age. The tone is rarefied and exotic. You're far from the maddening crowd.
The Food
Feeling nostalgic for upscale Cold War cuisine? Care to sample a bird of a different feather? Start with oysters Rockefeller, Beluga caviar, or steak tartare; then have your African pheasant or roast duck flambéed in full view (''prepared tableside'' is the Orchid's forte). Even cherries jubilee and bananas Foster light up the night. Food quality doesn't match fine service--buffalo filet with peppercorns is over-sauced, guinea hen tender but too salty, swordfish Kennebunkport drenched in floury hollandaise. In keeping with the '50s ethos, there's hardly a vegetable in sight, unless you count the hearts of palm salad. Get your fiber elsewhere.
