La Recette Parfait

Where's a Little Piggy to go when the piggy bank is less than full...?  It certainly looks like Recette may be a new option... assuming the reservations don't vanish before they even open.  The menu is divided between "snack" and "plates", allowing diners to "order just as they please."  Even better, none of plates break the $20 mark.  The website states,

"The menu for Recette [Recipe in French] celebrates bold flavors and playful touches."

Let's survey some of those stand out flavors from the menu here: 
Prosciutto Cotto, Foie Gras Parfait, Young Manchego
Hamachi Crudo, Uni, Blood Orange, Jalapeño, Mache

Raw Fluke, Watercress, Shaved Fennel, Caviar Sabayon
Duck Carpaccio, Chicken Liver Mousse, Apple, Thyme
Crispy Sweetbread, Escarole, Brown Butter, Lemon, Capers, Parsley

Roasted Foie Gras, Fig Jam, Poppy Seed Sablé, “Aigre-Doux”
Berkshire Pork Belly, Rock Shrimp, Baby Turnips, Romesco, Sherry Caramel
Sounds incredible, right?  My thoughts exactly, though don't get too hooked on any one item since the menu will evidently "change frequently to showcase fresh products and twists on seasonal American favorites."  And if that's not enough to have you clicking OpenTable immediately, the Pastry Chef is none other than Christina Lee, formerly of Per Se!  Sounds like a Recette parfaite to me!  Oink oink!
