Chad’s 4-star review: What a great selection of food as well as what is probably NYC's best selection of South African wine. We started with some ostrich sliders which were excellent and went on to the lobster/avocado salad (no lettuce, the lobster and avocado are mixed up together and served in an empty avocado skin). For mains we went with the curry salmon as well as a seafood casserole special, and both were very good. Solid 4 stars, and it's nice walking distance to either JALC or the Broadway theaters. -
Chad’s 5-star review: Alto recently got upgraded to 2 Michelin stars, so we went to check it out before seeing "A View from the Bridge". I completely understand why they got upgraded, because the food, service, wine list, and total experience is fantastic. We opted for the create your own 4-course option because then we could get 8 dishes (instead of 7 on the prix fixe) and pick exactly what we wanted. For antipasti we started with the seared scallops and the beef tartar, both of which were juicy and tender. We followed that with a round of pasta, the Tagliatelle with braised veal ragu and the Egg/spinach ravioli with crispy sweetbreads. Seriously, these were some amazing pasta dishes. I love that cutting into the ravioli results in egg yolk spilling out, as if you just cut into a over-easy egg. I'm not sure how they do this but it's very cool. For meat courses we went with the seared duck breast/duck sausage and the braised beef short ribs. I really enjoy 'Hen of the Woods' and the chef was willing to add them to the vegetables with the short ribs. The flavors in both of these dishes were great, and both meat courses were wonderful. For dessert we went with the Torrone (hazelnut cake and nougat semifreddo drizzled with chocolate) and Panna Cotta (honey roasted pears with buttermilk sorbet). I don't want to say that Alto is as amazing as Daniel because there is a certain quality at Daniel that makes it special. But the experience at Alto is NEARLY as good, so the price/performance ratio is great. If you like food, you should give this place a try, and it's only a short walk to the broadway shows afterwards! If you like big, bold wines, try a glass of the Monardiere 2 Monardes Vacqueyras 2007. Yes it's an Italian restaurant, but this french wine was the favorite of everything I tried (including the Barolo!) -
Chad’s 5-star review: This is one of the best steaks I've had in New York City. This is a great place for a business lunch or dinner as it is right underneath the Mcgraw-Hill building, conveniently nestled amongst the midtown superstructures. The steaks are perfectly seasoned and cooked to your specifications, the sides are all amazing (our group had mac & cheese, cauliflower, creamed spinach, and sweet potato mash), and their tome of a wine book will make any oenophile happy. I am sure I will be back again. -
Chad’s 5-star review: Wow. This place is really great! First of all, I would come back to this bar anytime just for drinks. The atmosphere is cool, and they have some nice drinks I haven't seen elsewhere (ice wine martini!). The food here is top, top notch. You get a 3-course prix fixe for $85, and the portions are generous. If I did not leave hungry, you will not leave hungry. I personally recommend both the rabbit terrine and the nantucket bay scallops (in that order). If you're trying to decide between the land dishes, go with the venison. You get two portions, a loin section with mole sauce and a terrine section with carrot sauce. Very yummy. For dessert, try the sicilian pistachio mille feuille with an auslese. Or go for the warm apple strudel, if you're not a pistachio fan. Really, you can't go wrong at Gilt. Everything is great here! -
Chad’s 4-star review: Uncle Nick's is a great place to head for pre-theater dining. It's a quick walk to many of the broadway theaters, esp those about 46th Street. If you come here, you simply must get the flaming cheese. Besides being a great showpiece (the flames are over a foot tall at your tableside) it actually tastes great. We ordered a second dish of it we liked it so much. Any restaurant can make good gyros, but the test of a greek restaurant is how good the seafood is, and Nick's definitely measured up. The Octopus appetizer and the Halibut main were fantastic. -
Chad’s 5-star review: Wow! This place is amazing. Personally I think it deserves 2 stars on the Michelin Guide and not just 1. Maybe they'll get upgraded soon. All of their appetizers and entrees are unique and innovative, and all with very fresh ingredients. We had a lunch here, and we started with the sauteed foie gras, which is a different take from your normal "spread on bread" foie gras dish. We also had the Dorado Royale which is Yuzu topped with Uni and Caviar. I had the chorizo encrusted codfish which was extremely juicy and tasty, and I'm told the rabbit filet was great as well. If you like chocolate even a little bit you will absolutely love the chocolate tart. Great service too, all the food and wine came right on time with no delay between courses. Just an all around great experience at a nice location. -
Chad’s 5-star review: Had an amazing friday-night dinner here. It was restaurant week, but it doesn't matter because if you come after 9:30pm they always have a $35 prix fixe. The food is fresh, the atmosphere is nice, and the service is great. We had eaten at Nougatine earlier in the week and felt JoJo to be much much nicer. -
Chad’s 5-star review: What an amazing meal! Every single bite is just expertly prepared with so many flavors and nuances and the pairing is fantastic! A mix of French and California wines, sake, shochu, and makgeoli. They said the menu rotates out every few months, so it's definitely going in our pre-concert rotation.

Chad’s 5-star review: Wow. Took my girl here last night and we both had the Chef's Tasting Menu. Literally out of this world. 6 savory courses and 2 dessert courses, each with their own wine pairing. There are only 4 3-star michelin restaurants in NYC and these guys definitely earned their stars. If you have a special event or really want to impress someone who loves seafood and wine, there is no better place than Le Bernardin.
