Coq au Vin: HELP!!
another insipid coq au vin at La Mirabelle on w86th just west of Columbus. is there anyplace in manhattan that actually serves this deeply rich dish instead of the watered down versions found at everyplace i've tried (except see #1) ?
addendum:
#1. the best i EVER had was at Artisanal, which unfortunately was removed from the menu; however, Terry Brennan was gracious enough to respond to my email & offered to make the coq au vin, given several days notice. a very nice touch by Chef Brennan!
#2. as much as i want to "love" La Mirabelle, each time i have gone, the food is amazingly bland, & nothing stands out throughout the entire menu + the specials. the average age of its regulars appears to be ~70, maybe that's why so bland; however, the service is quite good, & pleasant. is there any hope for a real bistro on the UWS, & i don't mean the terrible café luxembourg, the faux nice matin, etc, etc.........
