Hudson Clearwater

Went to this fancy restaurant as the last dinner of my New York trip.

For starters, we got the seafood appetizer platter. Could not go wrong with it.

For my main, got the braised beef. Also a great choice.

For dessert, got the apple crumbled with ice cream. Also great.

Nothing bad to say about this restaurant’s food (my first cocktail though I didn’t like so much, but their old fashion made up for it).

Fogo de Chao

This Brazilian steakhouse had great food. The only one thing I will complain about is they definitely try to sneak in serving you alcohol (they handed us mimosas, which many people accepted because they thought it was part of the meal). They also handed us jumbo shrimp cocktail, where people also thought it was included.

For the meal itself, most of it was great (can’t remember which one I liked the best). One type of meat we did end up ordering was the dry aged tomahawk, which I remember tasted amazing.

We ended up pairing the dinner with some merlot, which was a great compliment.

Also, the salad bar had a good selection.

Lastly, since it was our birthday, they did give us a complimentary dessert (but definitely doesn’t cancel out all the other non-free things mentioned above).
