Modeled after Gordon Ramsay's London counterpart, Maze presents dishes that lean toward contemporary French and wield a little Asian flair. There are regular change-ups to both the small plate à la carte menu and the chef's menu (five courses for $70). For this kind of quality cooking, the lunch menu seems a bargain, particularly for New York ($24.07 for a three-course special menu; prix-fixe two courses $26 and three courses $35). À la carte lunch dishes may include carpaccio of tuna and swordfish, or cider-glazed pork belly. Dinnertime might bring pan-roasted skate wing with preserved lemons or roast duck breast, baby golden beets and sesame purple kale. Desserts, like espresso mousse with chicory ice cream, leave a luscious mark.
