| - If your company's paying or you have an expense account, by all means go. We just got back from our vacation, ate so well in miami and vegas. Anthony Bourdain style.
Just to name a few memorable places, sage, bar masa at Cosmo, prime 112 , joe's stone crab at sobe...
Yours truly is lame. No cohesiveness or maybe I don't get the chef's creation at all. My son said my homemade king prawn pasta is way better than the lobster kale pasta - whopping 35$ for 5 bites. It is bland and unimaginative. We had the 4 course option. No wonder their menu changes everyday, because there is no signature dish or something memorable. The duck with lapcheong sticky rice is a joke. It reminds us of dimsum, lotus wrapped sticky rice which has a piece of roast duck n lapcheong (Chinese sausage). At least it is only 2.30$ compared to 55$.
Why pay that kind of price to taste various version of carrots. Smoked, marinated, pickled??? how can one go so wrong with one tiny piece of grilled white fish, I can't even remember the random ingredients surrounding the fish. I sum up the style as okay, we grilled, poached, fry the main ingredient, put a bit of kale here for coloring, drizzle with truffle oil to make it sound expensive...but the taste is random without any wow effect.
Like I said, if coming from my own hard earned money, I would rather go to Morimoto omikase in NYC and pay a little bit more to be amused deliciously by chef Morimoto.
Good luck Yours Truly.
