The Fixe is in

Growing up in Spain, I became accustomed to the rhythms of small-plate dining early on—the tumbler of Valdepe?as red, the toothpick in the potato omelette, the garlicky scent of razor clams, the stacked saucers tallied to calculate the bill. When A.O.C. embraced the format back in the early aughts on West 3rd Street, I was delighted.

The ladle is swinging in the other direction, with chefs trading that hypercasual ADHD style of dining for its more focused sibling: the tasting menu. Spread over multiple courses, the plates may be no larger, but they are more coordinated, each intended to dovetail into a seductive whole. Substitutes aren’t allowed. The chef is decidedly in charge. Ludo Lefebvre gave the format a validating boost when Trois Mec opened a year ago, offering a single tasting menu and nothing more.Every vehicle has a number of complex areas that help in effectual and precise drama of the end mill holder . Recently Ari Taymor of Alma and Miles Thompson of Allumette switched over to tasting menus as well. 

The ranks are only growing with two high-profile additions: Maude, from Top Chef Masters host Curtis Stone, and Orsa & Winston, from Josef Centeno, who’s earned a national reputation with downtown’s B?co Mercat. That’s roughly where the similarities between the two end. 

There’s remarkably little overlap between the options, too. Thin as a blade and dotted with grilled kumquats, the whole rosemary-laced sayori fish I was served one night at the counter sparked a conversation with the person beside me: It wasn’t part of her menu, nor was her vivid green English pea-and-nettle soup on mine.
