David Rockwell’s design of La Tête d’Or is grand yet comfortable, with plush velvet banquettes and softly padded walls offsetting the soaring ceilings. Deep blue tones and dark wood add to the feeling of exclusivity, even within the expansive space of the 120-seat main dining room. Along with its large, elegant bar and lounge and the more intimate private dining rooms, this restaurant offers a warmly glamorous ambiance that feels modern yet timeless.
La Tête d’Or is opened in partnership with SL Green, the developer of One Madison, and is considered to be another jewel in the crown of this standout building. Having partnered with SL Green on multiple restaurants within the skyscraper at One Vanderbilt, including the Michelin-starred restaurants Le Pavillon and Jōji, Chef Boulud and his Dinex Group have a track record of success with SL Green. “We are all great believers in the power of an exceptional restaurant, in the most spectacular locations, in this wonderful city,” said Sebastien Silvestri, CEO of the Dinex Group. “New Yorkers have always loved a world-class steakhouse, and we are certainly aiming to bring them one to take note of.”
