I'm a business guy and I travel a lot. I'm Aussie too, so I've been around a bit. I've dined in over 100 establishments each in New York, LA, San Francisco and Sydney. I think this Downtown 140 bests all of them. Really? Yup. And yes, I was sober (which is saying something for an Aussie).
I had the Ahi Tuna to start which was really something, then the Ohio Pork Chops with Pork Belly (oh my god), and finally the Citrus Tart (whew). Really really amazing food.
I went on a Sunday night when I expected it to be quiet, instead there was a thriving local scene with a band... the band. The band had a gal playing trumpet, guitar and singing. The pianist also sung. They were amazing.
I went alone as I was on a business trip, but I can honestly say, I had a fantastic time.
I'm taking my client back tomorrow for lunch. I'm hoping it is as good as tonight.
