This venue is closed.

Expanded seating and a rooftop terrace aren't the only new developments in this ultra-romantic Sutton Place townhouse. Co-owner and executive chef Wayne Nish has shed his obsession with Japan and found a new exuberance with a little more cream and butter. The tasting menu begins in a truffly, buttery haze of vegetable fricasse, then segues into the tenderest Muscat-scented lobster on lobster polenta, before climaxing in wonderfully rustic loin of Colorado lamb. Don't forego dessert. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Just not worth it

The service and the staff were attentive, and the drinks (both wines and spirits) left little to be desired. The decor is pleasant, bordering on elegant and has the feel of a private estate dining room, only larger. A friend and I both ordered the 5 course tasting menu ($105 per person). Of these, the only one that I really enjoyed was the home-made pasta, with pomegranate and cheese (which was really quite outstanding). Besides that the courses ranged from unremarkable (the sashimi, lobster and chocolate cake) to just plain unedible (the nearly raw squab). Overall, a decent dining experience at best. Considering the price tag that came with it (over $350 for two people, before tip), I just couldn't consider going back here. If you have money to blow and want to hob-nob with some upper east side blue bloods then maybe this is for you, if you are looking for good food go elsewhere.

Go if you want to get sick.

I've eaten here and seen the kitchen. For these prices, you can get much better food at restaurants such as Jean Georges and Bouley. They are currently being sued by a woman who got horribly sick from the food, and I understand why. The raw meats, seafoods, and produce are kept and used well beyond what is appropriate for a restaurant of this level. It's disappointing - spend your money elsewhere!
