| - I had been wanting to try this place for some time, knowing that it was esteemed chef Tom Colicchio's restaurant, and the experience was divine. The ambiance was very simplistic, not extravagant, but at the same time very elegant. Our service was excellent as well; the server was helpful with picking out a wine (I think the cheapest wine on the menu was about $44 so be prepared to spend some $$ if you plan on drinking).
The food itself was fantastic. My only complaint was that our server did not make it clear whatsoever that the portions are family style. If you are ordering a side dish, it's definitely enough for two or three people. For instance, she asked me if I wanted to start with a salad. I ordered the frisee salad with bacon and blue cheese (which was amazing). She then proceeded to ask my grandma if she wanted a salad as well. Luckily, she declined and when the salad came, it was a dinner sized portion. We split the salad and there was still a lot left over.
For the main course we both ordered New York steaks and I ordered a side of asparagus, and my grandma ordered the side of pureed Yukon gold potatoes. Everything was delicious, however, we had tons of leftovers. If I were to do it all over, we would have just ordered one steak since the portions were very generous.
Overall, it was a great experience. The service was good, the food was fantastic, I am glad we finally made it out here.
