...long since concluded that New York is a vastly disappointing restaurant town, and the higher a restaurant's reputation the more demanding he seems to be. Said he of Voisin this year: "The egg en gelée was gross, the shrimp marseillaise was overcooked, although in an excellent spiced sauce, and the grilled sweetbreads Rose Marie tasted unpleasantly of smoke." The Colony, he says, can be worse. Best in the city, he insists, is Henri Soulé's Le Pavilion, followed by Joe Kennedy's favorite, La Caravelle. But the man from the Times...
