LM Restaurant (CLOSED)

Stephan Outrequin Quaisser says he doesn’t want Lincoln Square locals to have to trek downtown to celebrate a special occasion. So he’s taken over Tallulah and brought in chef Brad Phillips to execute a laundry list of French classics. Plump sweetbreads arrive with caramelized onion ravioli; pan-roasted poussin arrives with plenty of buttery pan sauce and a handful of chanterelles; and the veal cheeks are rich enough to get elected mayor of New York. A textbook crème brûlée and a perfect apple tarte Tatin with freshly whipped cream end things on a high note. The only thing the place needs now is some people to do some celebrating.
