First time here and a lovely classic meal. All were delicious but the standout savory dishes were the Langoustine and Turbot. The pairings with these were fantastic as well. We added on the second Tuna dish which was also superb. Both dessert courses were sublime. The apricot was truly perfection and the chocolate with port was a rich and decadent finale.
All in all an excellent meal with clear 3 star service and ambiance.
And follow-up to my dress code question from yesterday. Ended up wearing the Tigers as it rained SO hard and only had time to walk to Bergdorf’s. Couldn’t justify spending 1-2k on some loafers that would have gotten drenched! Also, half the men were wearing jackets, half not. No sweats, etc.
