In Short – Coming to New York on a wave of optimism and ideology, this high-concept modern American restaurant follows the principles of S.P.E. (sourcing, preparing, enhancing) and an international nutrition manifesto--there's even an in-house nutritionist who works with chef Jeremy Bearman, a Robuchon and DB Bistro alumni. The food, meanwhile, looks a lot like the refined, seasonal work done in other restaurants like Hearth and Market Table: cured Arctic char with dikon, Moroccan-spiced Hudson Valley duck, and the like.

Just like Jeter - overrated
by Buck
I first experienced R.T. during its pre-opening, and it was really terrible. The servers knew nothing of the dishes, and the food was inedible. Giving it another chance, I returned recently to find the service quite attentive and knowledgeable, but the food was worthy of a Rotten Tomato as opposed to the unbelievable Michelin Star it received. The amuse bouche burned my mouth it was served so hot. The Ceviche was prepared with stale popcorn I wouldnt eat at a second rate movie theatre. The entrees (only 7 to choose from) were not exciting. We tried 2 - first the Scallops which were prepared on a bed of vegetables that I honestly think were cooked with the oil from the stale popcorn. The flank steak itself was OK, but the vegetables it was served upon was not terribly good and too many disparate tastes - not supportive of the steak. I forgot what I had for Desert as I was already aganozing over where I would eat after this unsatisfactory meal. Oh wait, it was the tasteless sorbet. I left feeling hungry, disappointed and perplexed how this place received a Michelin star. And I will not return for a third try to see if I 'missed' anything.
- Pros: nice looking clientele, service
- Cons: the food, the bill
