Editorial Review for Philippe – by Lori Fradkin
In Short
Owner Phillipe Chow honed his skills at the famed Mr. Chow before striking out on his own. At his new digs, patrons share satays and spring rolls on leather couches in the lounge, while more upscale consumption occurs at white cloth-covered tables in four distinct dining rooms. Entrees like drunken sea bass and velvet chicken are designed for two or three people, as are the prawns, served in pink, black, white and green renditions.

Pros: location
Cons: too many to list !!!

This was my second venture to Phillipe and I have to say it met my expectations once again. If you're looking for the full experience, I would recommend going later rather than earlier. Phillipe is very see and be seen and you will find that the crowd here is attractive, and well dressed. Don't be surprised when you're rubbing elbows with New York's elite. The food is great, I would personally recommend the Chicken Satay to start and either the Duck (although it takes 45 minutes to prepare) or the Sweet & Sour Chicken as the main course. The wine list is up to par with what you'd expect from a trendy UES eatery, the Riesling we had went great with the food. The service here is very attentive and there is usually a waiter & busboy tending to your table and a manager keeping a watchful eye. Overall it's a great place but not somewhere I could frequent too often as it is a bit pricey and a little too much of a "scene" place to go on a regular basis, but for a special occasion or a night out on the town it's a great restaurant.
Pros: Ambience, Service, Food, Atmosphere
Cons: No parking, sometimes hard to get a table where you want it, some dishes are subpar
