Description

Tasting menus can be polarizing. Sometimes, you sit for a few hours, drop a bunch of cash, and eat a parade of uninspired plates that make you feel like you’re in an exhausting meeting that you kind of want to end. You won't feel that way at L’Abeille. This warmly-lit Tribeca restaurant has green velvet banquettes and brass accents, and the servers (all dressed in jackets and ties) attend to your every need. But the impressive food is why you should come here. The $185 six-course tasting menu is primarily French with some Japanese touches—and we especially like the foie gras crème brûlée paired with an onion ice cream and the perfectly-cooked tilefish with crispy skin that you’ll want to eat all by itself. The next time you want to surrender yourself to a two-hour dinner that involves very little decision making, L'Abeille should be at the top of your list.
