Etats Unis, well tucked into 81st Street, serves contemporary "Creative American" fare, that for the last 12 years has been dazzling diners with some of the most inventive dishes in New York City. Co-owners/chefs Bill Ramsey and Tom Rapp have created a highly selective menu which changes nightly and is driven by what is fresh at the market that very morning. Because of its size (Etats Unis has about 14 tables), the restaurant can afford to be very particular with the food it serves to it's dedicated clientele.
The atmosphere, which is simple but sleek, attracts an upscale crowd looking for the freshest food available. One of the kitchen's best known dishes (if you are lucky enough to catch one before it sells out), is the charcoal prime aged rib eye steak for two, aged on the premises. "We sell no steak before it's time", states the chef. Another popular mainstay is the house meatloaf, served in a slow roasted tomato sauce and accompanied by a side order of mashed potatoes. An impressive wine list, which offers a large selection of wine by the glass, fits perfectly into the dining experience.
Etats Unis offers two seatings every night, the first between 6 and 7 P.M., and the second beginning 8:30. Directly across the street from the restaurant is the bar. Lunch is served there daily, and the separate menu has won raves from those who have discovered this secret. WINE TASTINGS; PRIVATE PARTIES, ON AND OFF PREMISE CATERING; HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE
