Nearly everything was potential morning fare — fried trout, broiled ham, eggs, muffins, rice waffles — and served in quantities that would make a Denny's waitress blush.

The kitchen offers such choices as shrimp and chicken curry with wild rice waffles, ricotta pancakes with blueberries, and potato and shrimp fritters; there are egg dishes as well.

Main-dish options include shrimp and chicken curry with rice waffles; Caribbean fried chicken with deep-fried parsnips, and double rib lamb chops with garlic cream and grilled Japanese eggplant and caramelized shallots.

The dinner menu of this new restaurant connected to the 70 Park Avenue Hotel, includes starters of Westfield chèvre French toast served with mushrooms and a black truffle fondue; and seared Hudson Valley foie gras with a ginger rice waffle and bourbon truffle fondue.
