Le Turtle

New York
French Restaurant
$$$$

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

This modern French spot from Freemans' Taavo Somer and The Smile's Carlos Quirarte has all the qualities of a "hip" Lower East Side restaurant -- from the French rap and indie rock playing from the speakers, to the interior (brown leather banquettes, marble tables, a tucked-away "VIP" nook upstairs), to the it-girl and guy clientele. But Le Turtle is more than just a scene -- the menu features hit after hit of grandiose French dishes, like the whole chicken for two that's torched table-side. If you're looking for a night to indulge solo, grab a seat at the bar and order chicken liver mousse and a glass of wine.
