NYC Restaurant Week - July 12th - 25th

SM's review of One if by Land, Two if by Sea...

One of our best friend tried this amazing restaurant. We hope you enjoy her review, we did!

A little snip-it about SM: she's a foodie, a social-lite, and chic lady with calendar packed with spectacular events. She never forgets to invite and her smile & laugh will get you in the mood to party. SM's review:

Fighting to get a reservation on OpenTable, I was delighted to get a 9:15pm slot. With prix-fixe normally being $80 per person, restaurant week was a steal. We ordered a bottle of prosecco to kick off the night.

For starters we ordered:

Cucumber Gazpacho w/organic cumin yogurt, mint, dill, cilantro, balsamic

Entrees:

The Hubby - Wild Red Snapper w/kalamata olives, preserved lemon risotto, & herb salad

SM - Homemade Summer Squash Fettuccine w/rustic peperonata sauce, oregano, parmigiano reggiano

Dessert:

The Hubby - Gianduja Mousee w/caramel bananas, banana bread ice cream

SM - Almond Milk Panna Cotta w/sable breton, fresh strawberries, & strawberry sorbet

Off the regular menu we ordered the truffle oil polenta - incredible & he ordered the gruyere pretzel.

Low down: Atmosphere was tres romantic, we had a corner table, the piano was playing beautifully, and our waiter was wonderful. My favorite dish on the menu was the “Famous” Pretzel Bread with Gruyere Cheese. While this place is rated in the top 5 of most romantic in the city; I can't say it would make my top 5. The restaurant is gorgeous, don’t get me wrong, and the food was delicious, but that’s not my idea of most romantic. For me, I’d go with the private dining room at Philippe Marie. Don’t let me sway you from eating there- One if by Land, Two if by Sea is definite must in this city.

Next on the list…Barolo, a West Broadway fav, and The Oak Room at the Plaza.
