The scenery sums up NYC fine dining. The entrance is low lite which gives the right ambiance of privacy. Once you enter, the claustrophobic self finds relief by all the space and levels. Truly beautiful architecture.

To start, pick out a nice bottle of wine (preferably red) and treat yourself to the Tuna Tartare. The quality of the fish is one of the best and the presentation of the dish makes it unforgettable. Its hand chopped “Ahi” tuna, avocado, soy lime dressing, served with potato gaufrettes. Which is fancy for home-made waffle shaped chips.

My favorite style of “Cobb” is their Lobster Salad (“Cobb”) Style bibb, radicchio, watercress and frisee with avocado, cheddar, crispy pancetta, buttermilk ranch dressing, half of a 1 3/4 lb lobster.

The steak was brilliant and great with a side of their  Blue Cheese Tator Tots and Cream Spinach. Love me those tarot tots and greens!!!

The free range all-natural Roasted Chicken was perfectly cooked. Stuffed under the skin with preserved lemon, rosemary and breadcrumbs. It was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, just the way I love it!

The Branzino is grilled the way your taste buds will never forget, on a plank. It helps the flavor really simmer through. But this dish had an interesting addition, shiitake mushroom crust, breakfast radishes and basil puree. Purely divine!!
