Much of NYC’s fine French dining commences in pretentious atmospheres where even the waiter scoffs when you use an inappropriate utensil for the foie gras. Fortunately, Django, with its plush comfy benches and littered cushions, serves a menu full of fancy French classics without the air of elitism. For an after work cocktail and steak et frites, this spot is fantastic to mingle with well-heeled peers and discuss the current state of the NYC social scene.

Five and eight course tasting menus are available to the entire table for the full social dining experience where you are invited to sample and judge the quality of cuisine from the kitchen amongst good company. A scrumptious tender Butter Poached Lobster Tail with Fresh Tagliatelle English Peas, Mint Foam & Lobster Reduction is a fantastic take on the traditional seafood dish. For meat lovers, the Aged Ribeye & Cabernet Braised Short Ribs served with Wild Mushrooms, Pommes Puree and Balsamic Onion Compote is sure to become a favorite after the first bite.
