We had a great meal at AOC last night. It has been a few years since I have been back and it is really solid. We had about 8 small dishes and everything was super fine. With all the new places that are crying out to be tried it is always great to return to a place that does things well, year after year.
Maybe my favorite happy hour in this area… the bar is cozy and the long communal high table next to it is very useful… went there with several people last month after witnessing their marriage and it was so nice. really love AOC… the whole aesthetic is just right for me.
We were at AOC last night as well - on the same patio! Could have been a mini FTC meet up
It was a wonderful dining experience, summer corn salad, fried chicken, black rice, clams were great!
They do not allow corkage at the moment, so I got to explore their full wine list (not the short printed version). Borgo Del Tiglio Sauvignon ($130) was perfect!
We were a group of 5 people by the fireplace in the middle, probably very loud.
The caviar thing is actually a photo of a desert dish from Ortolan (which i still miss very much)
oh cool! definitely saw your party… not loud at all. we were the couple at the window by 3rd st acting like adults without their kid for the first time in ages
