At Zuni you can almost be certain that you’ll have some fabulous dishes, but maybe some that badly disappoint. Which establishment would you chowhounds have placed in this ranking?

I loved Lucas Carton — attentive but not obtrusive service, attractive Art Nouveau decor, and excellent food. (I had a fist-sized portion of foie gras with figs and almonds, roast rack of lamb with eggplant prepared 3...

on sale. It’s decent enough. Apparently the good stuff is aged for a couple years. Cruz de Malta is only 3 months aged so it tends to be more bitter than others.
