The loyal clientele—and after almost 30 years, there are generations of them—breathed a collective sigh of relief when the restaurant’s lease and legendary view were extended to the end of 2010. Chef–co-owner Keith Froggett has a fondness for bacon, which wraps a juicy venison loin, basting the lean meat with smoky fat; on the side, a silky chanterelle-corn flan is like a crustless quiche from the gods. Joanne Yolles is back in charge of the pastry kitchen, turning out such gems as fresh apricots baked in brown butter pastry with sour cream gelato and blackberry compote. The wine list goes deep into France, not to mention your pocket. Polished servers could use better support than the bumbling cast of busboys. Mains $21–$34.
