It was with no small amount of trepidation that we ventured back to what we'll call the reboot of Hubert Keller's beloved Fleur de Lys, simply known now as Fleur. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a favorite mantra and we worried that some elusive ingredient that made the original wonderful would be lost in the translation. Our worries were unfounded. The new Fleur focuses on a continental selection of small plates, served in more casual surroundings. Choose a seat on the (indoor) patio, a comfy leather club chair, or a traditional table to enjoy selections like a miniature croque monsieur, dripping with cheese and loaded with finely smoked ham; or a small slice of tender skirt steak served with a fingerling potato and chimichurri. The construction is divine and the ingredients are noteworthy for their freshness. The good news/bad news of small plates is you get to sample more but you also have more opportunity for some bum notes, of which we had one or two (the pork schnitzel was a little tough), but it's strictly by comparison to the rest of the fabulous flavors. And even though individually the small plates have small prices, you can also run up a hefty bill by ordering multiple options -- and that's even if you don't get the $5,000 Wagyu beef hamburger (it comes with a bottle of 1995 Chateau Petrus).
