| - Globe Restaurant was one of tthe restaurants I just HAD to go to. I've heard great things about the menu, and even better about the waitstaff. My pals and I went on a Saturday evening and we were lucky enough to be seated right away. The weather wasn't too cooperative but no weather would've kept me in my hotel.
I was greeted right away by a beautiful hostess who looked like Laila Ali minus the 40lbs. of muscle. Our waitress approached us immediately and we started off with a cheese plate and foie gras ravioli. Both were delicious and the foie gras was buttery smooth. For the main course, we asked for suggestions from our statuesque waitress. I was impressed that she wasn't trying to push the most expensive items, but instead urged us to try Globe's signature dishes.
I had the pork loin with roasted potatos, and wow, the portions were huge. Other restaurants like Globe try to skimp out on the eats and get by on the decor and hot, bitchy waitstaff, but the food was aplenty, the waitstaff was gorgeous AND nice (a near-extinct species in NYC), and the bill came out to just around $200 in USD. $50 a pop is a GREAT deal for appetizers, entrees, wine, and the eye candy. It was truly an experience for my senses, and Globe is definitely in a world of its own.
