We came to Stock Restaurant on the 31st floor of the Trump Tower this past Saturday night.
Tiger Shrimp Ceviche - Interesting... served in a martini glass, it was okay. Didn't blow my socks off. Difficult to eat, we all made a mess.
Pork Belly and Scallops - The pork was delicious, Scallops were okay, nothing special. And there was sort sort of kimchi served with this. Found it an odd mix. But the pork belly was excellent.
Lemon Meringue Tart - this was actually the best part of dinner. It was fantastic.
The Trump Tower is a beautiful building and this restaurant is the same. It was great. The service was fantastic, friendly knowledgeable. The bathrooms in both the restaurant and the hotel ground floor are to die for... I love using a polished black toilet. I feel like James Bond using that baby!
Now... 5 minutes after we had finished our desserts, the waiter simply puts the bill on the table and thanks us. Didn't ask us if we wanted anything else. No offer of coffee or espresso or anything. I found this a little unusual, and distinctly got the impression that he wanted us out of there, likely so he could fill the table again. It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.
Sort of like "Okay... you've seen what you needed to see.... Now get out"
Overall... good meal, but I was hoping for a little more WOW... like I have experienced during other "licious" events (Rosewater blew me away!)
