A “beautiful people” hangout, Astor Place has gone through some head chef changes, but at press time Johnny Vinczencz, renowned as an expert practitio-ner of New Florida cuisine, was back. Blending pan- Asian, tropical and Mediterranean touches, the menu includes wasabi-seared tuna with rock shrimp and jasmine rice; Jamaican jerk veal tenderloin; lamb chops served with creamy mashed Yukon gold potatoes and baby vegetables; and seared, lemonbasil yellowtail snapper in a Chardonnay butter broth. Starters include a wild mushroom stack featuring grilled portobello layered between buttermilk pancakes; barbecue shrimp “martini,” served in a martini glass with smoked shrimp-potato salad; and cornmeal-crusted duck cakes. An array of innovative salads and a tempting dessert tasting plate round out the menu.
