A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Great Italian place at the south side of Central Park.
Ordered an espresso martini to start (which they had a two for one special). Would say it’s the best espresso martini I’ve ever had.
For my main, got a penne vodka pasta with chicken. Solid call. We also had a side of mozzarella sticks (didn’t like how they made them though). Would definitely come back here.
Went to this bar for Tuesday night drinks.
This place is a restaurant, but also a classy bar. They made decent espresso martinis, and also got several whisky sodas. Would come here again for drinks after work. Also, noticed some people at the bar were alone. Might be a good place to meet new people. Also would be curious about this place for dinner.
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.
Great Italian restaurant. Although a sit down restaurant, it had really chill waiters and staff.
Started off the an espresso martini. Man was it the best espresso martini I’ve ever had! Got a lemon drop for my second drink.
For apps, we got bread and patatas bravas. Both great.
For my mains, had the French onion soup and the seafood linguini. Both excellent choices.
