Our Review
Gary "Big" Strauss and Tony "Little" D'Alessandro put lots of thought and value into the food they serve. Justly famous are their foie gras French fries, a deeply browned bed of crisp strips capped with slices of unctuous duck liver and drizzled with just-rendered foie fat. (There are also fries with shaved black truffles and sea salt.) The crab tostada, made with freshly cracked snow crab, scallions, and a spritz of lime, is alive with flavor; fish tacos prove that with careful grilling and a mildly piquant "special sauce" even tilapia can be cajoled into tastiness. And then there are the po'boys . . .
