Wine pairing? If so, regular or reserve? Or just do our own thing with by the glass and half bottle selections? Would love to hear reviews of what FT'ers thought about their pairings. |

It’s one of the all time greats. With one of the amazing sommeliers. Get the pairing. Always. We are channeling our inner BHRUBIN. |

Will do! We also have reservations for Oriole 2 days later with girl and the goat in between.

Ah darn. Yeah I wouldn't pay that much just for a res either, that's just wrong! Especially when the meal itself is only 15000Y I think. For a less trying option: Unatoto Honmachi -- if you like unagi, this is a solid cheap and cheerful spot. Grilled eel is pretty much the only thing on the menu. We walked in without a res and sat at the grill.

Salon. On waiting list for Gallery. Gallery literally sold out in 2 minutes. We had a few days we could do it. I quickly checked times on those days. Went back to book and everything was gone. Amazing.
Still VERY excited tho. |

We are channeling our inner BHRUBIN. We had such an amazing time with the team there...and they totally encouraged me to flirt and mess with Chef Achatz. I made him totally blush when I asked if the glitter for his final dessert was because we were gay. |
Had a fabulous dinner tonight at Da Vittorio near Bergamo. |

I had lunch at Jean-Georges a few weeks ago. I thought the service improved quite a bit since my last visit (summer 2018), but I was not nearly as impressed with the food. I started with the pea soup which didn’t seem to have as much of a pop of flavor that it previously did. My second course was white asparagus with a lemon champagne sauce. The sauce was super sour and completely overwhelmed the dish. Lastly, I had the sweet and sour sweetbreads. This was by far the standout dish, very well executed. Overall pretty disappointed with the food. Will probably look for another go-to weekend lunch spot for my NYC trips. |

I've had excellent meals at Acadia (2*) twice, they als have a bar area with a nice bar meny.
If you are in the mood for an excellent steak, Bavette's Bar & Boeuf always delivers. Girl & the goat is a fun place too, if you can get a reservation. I hear Boka is great too. Good luck! |

So how was it? Dying to hear what you thought!
The staff makes it. Super down to earth. Great personalities. Not stuffy at all. |
