My boyfriend took me here the other night for a special evening out, and it was, in all certainty, the best restaraunt experience I've ever had.
We were seated immediately to a gorgeous window table overlooking the financial district and immediately ordered cocktails to enjoy the view while we perused the extensive menu. I ordered the "Level 52" and it was perfect- fruity, bubbly (from champagne), and just enough to take the edge off a long workday. We ordered two appetizers; duck confit and the scallops. The duck was superb, and the scallops sweet and tender. For entrees, I ordered the dry aged sirloin and my boyfriend the seafood composition, which is curry and udon noodles with every assortment of seafood imaginable. They were both amazing! I for one never order red meat out to dinner, but I was assured by the server that it was prime beef, and he certainly was right. For dessert we ordered a cookie platter to share, and we were surpirised with the size and delectableness of the cookies that came fresh from the oven, oozing and steaming!
It definitely was an amazing evening. Service was impeccable-the best I've ever had, and I've dined in many upscale, fine dining institutitons. Our server's name was Fadeel, and I would certainly ask for him again! The view unbeatable and food top notch! I don't understand how some previous guests that have posted on this site would have though otherwise. It'sa certainly a place to enjoy the evening with guests from out of town, or for those that simply love intimate atmospheres, amazing views and food.
We were told also while we dined that the restaurant just recieved a $4M facelift- and it shows, it's asolutely beautiful. They also have a lounge area that offers late-night dining at an understandable $24 minimum/person. I certainly wouldn't want to waste my time as a server with college-aged kids that show up very late and order only appetizers or the cookie platter. Another plus about the lounge is the live jazz that plays every night.
It was an unfogetttable experience and the best dining service I've ever had. I'll be back often.
