perfect！

They do prix fixe style 3 course menu here, with many choices for each course. Also offered is a set price wine pairing. I really enjoyed all the dishes I chose as well as the pairings (1 for each course). They do have a full bar available but I only had the paired wines.

An amuse-bouche was brought to us ahead of our meal. It was a mushroom and scallion broth in a crockery type shot glass. This was a little salty but delicious.

I chose a prawns (no picture) as my first course. It came with 3 lovely prawns and a cabbage puree. For my second I chose a bacon wrapped pork loin (see picture), and lastly the almond cake (see picture). All 3 dishes were fantastic. I went with my wife and son who both also loved the food. Its clear the change the menu options frequently. The 3 course menu was $98 each and the wine pairings $56 each.

Bread service is an additional charge but it was delicious.

Please note 18% gratuity is automatically added to your check.
Our dinner for 3 with wine pairings for two, tax and gratuity all in was $557.

I definitely want to come back, but to me this is a venue for a special occasion dinner.

They do offer corkage if you want to bring in your own bottle but that is $50!

As for seating, we ended up sitting at a booth the faced the kitchen. While this is fascinating this is a 71st floor restaurant so we would have preferred to face the windows. If you are a Hell's Kitchen fan you might dig this table (and you can request it), but you will not see any drama.... just professionalism and attention to detail. We could have waited for a different table but chose to stay put.

Fantastic view and amazing food. I don't necessarily recommend the wagyu though, because of the upcharge, and while good wasn't 200 dollars good. Everything else my mother and I had at this restaurant was absolutely top notch. For that 5 star experience and view it's pretty affordable as well.

When you go to a place that depends on a view for atmosphere, a foggy rain curtain can certainly create a cafeteria atmosphere. Nevertheless the food was good, especially the first course--gnudi for me and octopus for her. Memorable. I'd avoid the beef "second": grisly. The pairings varied with the first course being perfect. All three courses were substantial. Service was just OK, plus it took some getting used to to being called "my friend" all evening. Be aware 18% is added to all tickets.

Good service, views & food!
