Jardiniere (gardener in French) is the brainchild of chef Traci Des Jardins and designer Pat Kuleto. Des Jardins transforms seasonal provisions into newly inspired French classics. Crisp chicken, lobster strudel, and truffled scallops are winter menu standouts. Kuleto`s mottled mauve walls, plush velvets and draping metal balustrades perfectly echo the restrained elegance of the chef`s vision and the aspirations of the clientele. Make your curtain with the three-course "staccato" menu or linger under the champagne dome to live music nightly.
