THIS WEEK'S RESTAURANT REVIEWS

• NY Times: Frank Bruni gives wd-50 a much deserved ratings boost (3 of 4 stars). "[Wylie Dufresne] pushes hard against the envelope of possibility and the bounds of conformity to produce food that's not only playful but also joyful and even exhilarating."
• Peter Meehan digs Egg in Williamsburg.
• Bloomberg: Ryan Sutton visits newcomers Eighty-One and Greenwich Steak & Burger.
• The New York Sun: Paul Adams visits East Village restaurant Seymour Burton, where he's not overly enthusiastic about the food but likes the "homespun feel" of the restaurant.
• The New York Daily News: RG has 2.5 of 4 stars for Alain Ducasse's Adour: "For every dish that dazzled, there was another that utterly disappointed. On one visit, an unusually juicy beef tenderloin was presented alongside a mushy sea bass draped with manila and razor clams, devoid of their characteristic brininess."
• Village Voice's Robert Sietsema goes to Broolyn's, Restaurante Taqueria Guerrero.
