A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We grabbed brunch here, as it is the rooftop of our hotel. (And also later in the day grabbed drinks, which is definitely a good place to do that for after work drinks).
For drinks, got their version of espresso martini (they make it with cold brew coffee). It was really good. For appetizers, got the crab cake. Would definitely get it again. For my main, I went for the quesadilla. It was alright (would probably try something else next time).
Came to this place for thanksgiving in New York.
The place had a traditional French vibe (person I was with said it seems very Paris authentic). The history behind the restaurant is that some popular broadway star used to own the place.
In terms of atmosphere, the piano player really set the happy mood for the night.
For thanksgiving, it was a fixed menu. For the appetizer, got the crab cakes. They were really good. For the main, got the turkey. Turkey was good, but stuffing and butter nut squash were meh. For dessert, not sure what it was called, but it’s pictured below (also was meh). I think overall the price ($85 per person) was not worth it. They did however give some macaroons at the end, which were great.
For drinks, got an espresso martini and some sort of mojito. Both were also meh.
We came here for lunch to eat poke bowls.
I got the sampler poke bowl (see picture below for the 4 fish I got). The only fish that was good was the Salmon. The Go Girl has too much Mayo, and the other two were really salty. Also got a crab cake which was great.
Tried this all you can eat Japanese and Korean restaurant in Korea Town (New York), and thought it was decent for the price (apparently they also have a location in Menlo Park).
The rice cakes was probably overall my favorite Korean dish, and then the bulgogi (when it just comes out of the oven). The crab cakes and tempura were also not bad. For the Japanese portion, the hot pot was the best part (sushi was not super fresh).
One piece of advice, for the hotpot, always do the ramen noodles.
For dessert, they did have cookies and cream ice cream, which was fine for cleansing the pallet.
We went to this restaurant, and ordered wayyy to much food. However, food was great.
We started off with the Pu-Pu platter (Ben partly got it because of the name). It’s actually a great deal if you have more than 2 people (and from what I remember, all the samplers were good). What you get: spring rolls, spare ribs, beef teriyaki, spare ribs, crab cake.
For the mains, we got the chow fun with beef, and some sort of chicken dish. I remember the chicken dish being slightly salty.
