Message From Picholine

  • French-Mediterranean
  • Prix Fixe Menus
  • Private Room for Events

Picholine draws its strength from the formidable talents of its Chef-Proprietor, Terrance Brennan. Having trained in some of Europe's most renowned kitchens, he remains inspired by the seasons and features the highest quality ingredients available. Staying true to the bright, sunny and intense flavors of the French-Mediterranean region, his dishes are true originals in terms of their texture, flavor and presentation. For his efforts, Brennan was nominated by the James Beard Foundation as being one of the Best Chefs in New York in 2002.The finely appointed dining rooms of the restaurant can seat up to 96 people for its lunch, pre-theater, and dinner services. L'Olivier, the restaurant's spacious private dining room can accommodate an additional 22 guests, and Picholine's intimate Wine Room can seat 8 guests.

suspicious

I think many of these glowing "10" reviews are phony, cooked up by the restaurant's puppets. We went for a pre-theatre meal. Awful. Cheese course, as other reviewers have noted, is interesting, but you'll do...

pre-theatre crowd beware!

Picholine no doubt garners and exploits the "pre-theater" (Lincoln Center) crowd. As is typical of such restaurants, the cusine does not warrant the high prices. The cheese course, however, is fun. Tightly...
