Reveillon @ Richard Fiske's Martini Bar & Restaurant.

 

Richard Fiske's Martini Bar & Restaurant

Richard Fiske was the owner of the Bombay Club for many years, and set the style of that swinging eatery, with a great cocktail bar before cocktails became cool again. And live music in a New Orleans tone every night. Richard passed away in 2013, around the same time that the Bombay effectively split into two restaurants. This one had the former staff, and the other had the location. It's been kind of hard to keep up with, especially since chef Nick Gile moved on. Still the place seems to be rolling right along continuing a tradition of unusually good cocktails, live music every night, and sophisticated cooking.

FULL REVIEW

All the Reveillon menus can be perused here. We'll feature one every day throughout the Reveillon season, which runs in most of the Reveillon restaurants until December 31.The snowflake ratings are for the Reveillon menu, not the restaurant in general. Dishes marked with the snowflake symbol ✽ are my recommendations.
