"The steak frites at Balthazar is the dish that anchors the menu. Hanger steak, cooked to temperature, rested, sliced against the grain, served with bearnaise and a pile of frites that are double-fried. This is bistro technique at its highest."

"Keith McNally's restaurant has run at this level for over 25 years. The consistency is the story. The steak is not remarkable; it is correct, every time. That is the achievement."
