Still in October but looks like the sea bream has been replaced by plaice and the tortellini by gnocchi?

I always enjoy the fish dishes in the CCR and the sea bream was no exception, really enjoyed it. I had the tortellini too which I found to be pretty bland.

I had nice service too actually, from the the server that usually strikes me as the most grumpy looking...

Apart from the 'new' menu, as of today new nibbles.

They are served in conical ceramic dishes in a wire frame.

By popular demand, the rice chili puffs are back, after a 2 year absence.

Other snacks include, some form of chick pea, anchovies, green olives, black olives (Kalamata), artichokes, stuffed peppers or something similar.

Ugh, WHY would you call something "spider endive" instead of frisee? I had a double-take at the menu.

Yes and strictly out of season. A bit pretentious sounding too.

Here's a picture of the new menu (November 2015) in the JFK CCR.



Just about to try the Filet.

EDIT: Delicious

PS. I updated the wiki with this post in the JFK section.
