A great trendy newcomer in the area. I enjoyed the dishes we tried and "I shall return"! Doesn't feel like midtown. So glad to have this and Crave within walking distance from me. We should have more of this kind of restaurant around. It makes the neighborhood more vibrant and exciting. ]]> Foodyholic Thu, 01 May 2008 03:55:28 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Foodyholic/Posts/?type=saved Foodyholic saved a post about Adour titled Always Excellent ]]> Foodyholic Thu, 01 May 2008 03:32:17 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Adour/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Adour, Excellent ]]> Foodyholic Thu, 01 May 2008 03:31:16 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Adour/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant1037 Foodyholic says... Definitely still a special occasion destination. Food, ambience, presentation and service were top notch. It is a humbler version of his first NYC restaurant Alain Ducasse at the Essex House because it did not have the bells and whistle it had - the little goodie bag with a take-home sample to eat for snack or breakfast, and a copy of the French Fine Hotels book to the cart of assorted cheese and homemade candies which definitely was an elegant and pampered lifestyle. Nevertheless, Adour is beautifully nested in elegance and formal setting. It is priced better with a choice of a la carte or prix-fixe menu which offers a wider variety for diners. In a way it's comforting to be able to return more often to dine at such a restaurant without being obligated to have only a prix-fixe menu. Without a doubt, this restaurant will be more popular. ]]> Foodyholic Thu, 01 May 2008 03:31:15 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Fatty-Crab/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant1002 Foodyholic says... Great Asian spinach, pork belly, crab, rice... etc... Can't go wrong ordering food in this restaurant. The mussels are spiced differently as well. Unique flavors. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:33:44 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Fatty-Crab/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Fatty Crab, Good ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:31:36 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Jacques-Torres-Chocolate/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant1001 Foodyholic says... I buy about a dozen of the chocolate croissant and freeze them. To heat, put in 300 degree oven for 10 minutes - Jacques Torres has the best croissant yet. Perfect amount of chocolate and really flacky but not greasy. He also has the best dark chocolate covered marshmallows. They serve hot chocolate in varieties. When will they ever put a restroom in the store??? ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:31:20 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Jacques-Torres-Chocolate/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Jacques Torres Chocolate, Very Good ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:28:04 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Atlantic-Grill/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant1000 Foodyholic says...

Impressive entrance and decor throughout. Definitely a special occasion destination. It was my birthday so they accommodated my request to have the raspberry souffle for dessert with my prix-fixe menu instead of the fresh strawberry dessert. Every dish is a work of art and delicious with very light flavor-intense sauces. The flavor is clean but intense. The seasonings were well calculated - nothing was salty or bland. The service was attentive and friendly. Artfully presented and delicious yet there was some simplicity about it. It is not as pump-and-circumstance as the first Alain Ducasse he openned in NYC a few years ago. But just as delicious. I do miss the little French Hotel book and snack bag to take home. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 26 Apr 2008 04:19:14 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Cubana-Cafe/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant907 Foodyholic says... The corn in a stick with Mexican cheese/ ao stuff which was quite good. Interesting decor - hip. Don't want to cook? Great inexpensive way to eat without going generic. Gourmet in a budget. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 05 Apr 2008 03:24:51 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Cubana-Cafe/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Cubana Cafe, Good ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 05 Apr 2008 03:21:25 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Cubana-Cafe/l-2460/r-u745 Foodyholic added Cubana Cafe to her Been There ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 05 Apr 2008 03:21:19 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Bao-111/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant883 Foodyholic says...

A special dining place that has continued to fluorish in NYC. It's a great survivor in the industry because it upkeeps and maintains its great service, ambiance and great chefs to serve us truly delicious food. It's what you expect from a high-end restaurant. If you don't want the evening price tags, try their prix-fixe lunch menu. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:35:03 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Le-Bernardin/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Le Bernardin, Excellent ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:31:05 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Rosa-Mexicano/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant881 Foodyholic says...

I like the many little dishes that they bring you. That was my first to experience such a perfectly poached egg. I had another from some other restaurant later. The chef is young and innovative. A must try for visitors. The presentation and unique dishes would Wow your guest. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:28:16 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Degustation/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Degustation, Very Good ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:23:34 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Megu/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant878 Foodyholic says... Everything you order is spectacular. The service is very good. From sushi, to burger, to steak (Kobe, or Wagyu) are all perfectly prepared to your taste and presented artfully. Well worth it. I actually like the midtown location better. It feels more open space - I guess because I see more green surroundings outdoors. The setting is more spectacular. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:22:55 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Megu/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Megu, Very Good ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:18:40 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Sarabeths/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant877 Foodyholic says... It's basic American food. I don't understand how it got its reputation. I know they sell their muffins at Chelsea Market - it's food to digest. Service is OK. If it weren't in the Upper Eastside, I don't really know why I have to pay the price. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:18:23 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Sarabeths/r-u745 Foodyholic rated Sarabeth's, Fair ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:16:50 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Crispo/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant876 Foodyholic says...

I wish it would also be open for lunch. I like the fixed-price tasting menu. What a creation! Each dish is a presentation, a surprise combination and it all works together. Going to P*ong's is an experience. I like the high-end taste at casual atmosphere. Like I said, everything is a surprise. ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:13:50 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/PONG/r-u745 Foodyholic rated P*ONG, Very Good ]]> Foodyholic Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:09:53 GMT http://newyork.foodistcolony.com/Restaurant/Daniel/Posts/r-u745/a/?anchor_key=Restaurant874 Foodyholic says... An affair to remember! The setting, the food, the service and of course the price. But it's worth the celebration. Outstanding! I like the old charm.

One of our all time favorite places if you can get in. Cramped space but I don't care. If it were spacious, they'd start charging outrageous price.
