Decadent lunch for three. The $45 prix-fixe with oysters, half a sea bream or chicken, and small soft serve would be a great deal if you wanted all those things.
Caviar now comes on a scallion flatbread. My friends thought it was a little too smoky (from the smoked horseradish cream), I didn’t get that at all.
Frog legs. Really good. My friends thought they were a little too spicy, seemed spot on to me. First-rate bread-and-butter pickles.
Parker house rolls, great as always.
Sea bream was great, maybe even better than Sam’s. Swarnadwipa sauce was deliciious but not really needed (kind of the house style, I guess).
Fries were the best I’ve had in a while.
Black cod was very good but the bream was better. Sugar snap peas were good and I usually don’t like those.
Hen of the Woods mushroom in something like barbecue sauce was tasty.
Leeks also tasty and surprisingly crisp. Great hazelnuts.
Soft serve with cacao nibs and caramel sauce was great.
“Chocolate bar” also great, kind of like a frozen Michelin-level Snickers.
Too much lime in the sorbet, couldn’t really taste the coconut. Belotti does it better.
Cheesecake was the one serious miss of the meal, way too smoky, I don’t think anyone had a second bite. Strawberry sorbet was excellent.
First-rate service and sommelier as usual. We could have ordered several fewer dishes and been fine.
