If you do use the menu, take care not to order the same thing as your friend&#8211;the brusque waiters may dismiss you as a &#8220;second-hander.&#8221; The kitchen&#8217;s philosophy is appealing if ultimately incoherent, relying heavily on absinthe, hemp, and foie gras. Desserts are a specialty: Order one of the famous gingerbread houses &#8220;eminent-domain style&#8221; and a waiter dressed as Uncle Sam will whisk it away just as your children start to dig in. They&#8217;ll go home crying, but they&#8217;ll have learned a valuable lesson about tyranny.
