New York PostSeptember 25, 2014élan serves “contemporary American” a la carte dishes at contemporary Manhattan prices. Try the paper-thin, soy- and sake-cured beef, air-dried and served with king oyster mushrooms in lemon cream. Read more
Time Out New YorkOctober 31, 2014Order the duck fat hash brown ($8). The lardy puck tosses shoestring-thin russet potatoes with onions in silky duck fat, pressed until the edges are golden brown and exceptionally crunchy. Read more
Jason SchulweisJuly 20, 2014Started w the sea urchin guacamole, grilled seafood sausage, and zucchini/squash blossoms - very highly recommended. Had the duck as my main and it was unreal.
Caroline SchulweisJuly 20, 2014The sea urchin guacamole, grilled seafood sausage, and zucchini blossoms were our table's favorites of the night (all pictured below). Highly recommend élan!
julia tDecember 25, 2014Good raw oysters with creme fraiche though a bit large. Delicious, bright citrus salad. Tasty tea-smoked salmon main (though a bit overhyped). Holiday cassoulet can be skipped, overabundance of beans!
HOBNOB MagazineApril 7, 2015Service with a smile. Everything we ordered was superb: the duck special, cornish hen, OCTOPUS grilled to perfection, and interesting wine list. Art show rotates for different ambiance.
The New YorkerSeptember 4, 2014“By opening in the Flatiron district, Waltuck is announcing both that he’s in the big-boys club ... and that he’s playing it safe. That’s O.K., though, since Waltuck’s safe is delicious and decadent.” Read more
Ms HeleneJanuary 20, 2016Pickled vegetables seasonal $10, seafood sausage on cheese sauce $20and grilled sea bass $30. Skip Brussel sprouts in XO sauce $10. $1 oysters at bar from 5-7pm.
Lori LuoOctober 12, 2014The off-menu Duck and Foie Gras Burger is also available at brunch. It's almost as good as the Duck Confit Hash, with a sunnyside up duck egg and béarnaise.
SparkieAugust 29, 2014Duck confit hash and blintzes with sweet ricotta, chicken pot pie and General Tso's Sweetbreads. Ask nicely and that much-discussed duck burger is also available off-menu.- Caroline SchulweisMarch 23, 2015Seafood sausage for dinner & brunch are amazing! Pro tip: They serve the Sea urchin guacamole at brunch even though it isn't on the brunch menu.
Wilson ZhouSeptember 7, 2014Very nice French spot, at least I had brunch here and it was impressive. Don't just read the review on NewYorker. Stop by, and it worth the trip.
Tasting TableSeptember 22, 2014Try the new blackberry-blueberry tart with corn ice cream and basil reduction. Created by élan's pastry chef Diana Valenzuela. Read more
Staff PicksJuly 31, 2014Check out David Waltuck of Chanterelle's new spot on Park Ave South. Try the famous grilled seafood sausage, or a newbie to the menu like the stuffed chicken wings! Read more
Michael MuseOctober 13, 2014The 'This Just In' cocktail is spicy, sour, sweet, fantastic. Plus, when she brought it to me, she said 'this just in', totally straight faced, which I loved.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 10, 2014I was not crazy about the sea urchin guacamole or the duck mixed grill but LOVED the zucchini blossoms and the grilled seafood sausage. Waiter was a problem. Not sure I will be back.
Tian XieJanuary 25, 2015Lots of unique delicious dishes here: sea urchin guacamole, seafood sausage and duck and foie gras burger.
Sharon ChenJuly 20, 2014It is impossible to take just one bite of the foie gras duck burger, and the General Tso's sweetbreads will convert reluctant sweetbreads virgins.
Yukari KoyaAugust 23, 2014Sea urchin guacamole and duck foie burger was amazing as well as the smashed yukons that came with it
Kim AhearnAugust 27, 2014Amazing food & service. Try the zucchini blossom, sake cured meat, sweet & sour eggplant
Phil KenchDecember 30, 2014Pork osso bucco was a winner, as was the seafood sausage appetiser. Great service too.
- Their weekend prix fixe brunch may be the best deal in town.
Nick MonjeJuly 7, 2014The green papaya salad is possibly the best thing to happen to food since fire.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 21, 2016Christmas colors are reflected in the cocktails mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco at élan.
- Pueblo Viejo TequilaApril 1, 2016Close with a flourish this spring break and enjoy a refreshing Pueblo Viejo Cocktail here at élan.
