Hugh Merwin wrote that Chanterelle “changed the way NYC Restaurants did business by making good food and service less stuffy.”.[2] Waltuck won a James Beard Best Chef award. The restaurant won the Best Restaurant in America James Beard Award in 2004 and four star reviews from The New York Times in 1987 and 1993.[3]
The Waltucks wanted to offer a three star Michelin experience “in an informal contemporary American setting.” Gael Greene published “rave reviews” less than a month after the restaurant opened which was the first of many such reviews. The reviews by the Times were written by Ruth Reichl and Bryan Miller.[4]
