At Lilette, we went the tapas route and ordered about 8 appetizers.

Have reservations for Gautreau's on Saturday, so looking for a plan of attack... Definitely the sweetbreads

Heard she does fish well and pretty decent banana split.

Anything else I should know?

I've heard they do a great roasted chicken if that's on the menu.

The one item that has lasted since the days when Larkin Selman was the chef. It really is good though.

Zemanick is a great chef when it comes to seafood. The sweetbreads are great a must order for the table.

This is what I was coming to post. The first and best sweetbreads that I ever tasted.

Whatever foie gras app is on the menu should be good and she definitely does the fish dishes well. The banana split dessert was good. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but it was good. Huge, though.

Pork belly is best in the city.

Scallops! If it's a special, their bouillabaisse is amazing.

Housemade ice cream will blow your mind. Probably the best ice cream I've ever had.

Here is the key to Sue's menu. Anything that sounds like it would have a crispy skin/crust (be it duck confit, skin on fish, or pork belly) order. She is incredibly talented and all of her food shines, but there is something about the way she is able to put a hard crust on foods while maintaining a soft, luxurious interior that is just damn sexy.

Couldn't agree more. That's why I love her scallops. You wouldn't think there would be that much to it...but she has the most perfectly seared scallops in the city.
