This place has been on my bucket list for a while--from the stunning views to the rave reviews about the service, I've been eager to experience it all for myself. My man took me here to celebrate my graduation, and from the moment we walked in, the service was top-tier. We were greeted with a warm "congratulations" by every single staff member who served us. It was such a thoughtful touch and really showed how intentional and communicative the team is behind the scenes.
Drinks:
One of my favorite parts was the cocktail menu inspired by different NYC neighborhoods. I tried the Brooklyn and the Red Hook--both were amazing. Beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and flavorful without being overpowering. They paired well with any food option, in my opinion.
I also tried the Irish Kape (it was a hot drink listed as a post-dinner option, but I wanted it right away). It was sweet, cozy, and one of the best warm alcoholic drinks I've had in a while. If you enjoy sweet and soothing cocktails, this one's for you.
Appetizer:
We ordered the beef tartare, which was served with a crisp. It was incredibly flavorful. I think it was placed over a bed of sunflower oil, which added a delicate richness. The portion was generous, and the combination of textures was just right.
Entrées:
I went with the American Wagyu, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The sauces--one reminiscent of an elevated buffalo, the other like a refined BBQ--were tasty but not what I was expecting in terms of uniqueness. I also ordered it medium, but it came out more medium-well. I'd recommend going medium-rare for the ideal cook.
The sea bass, however? Phenomenal. Perfectly cooked and served over a lemony sauce that was light yet flavorful. I'd definitely order it again.
Ambiance & Views:
Although it was a rainy day and we spent most of our time "sitting in a cloud," the vibe was still magical. For a few brief moments, the clouds cleared and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Even in the fog, it felt like something out of a dream.
This was such a beautiful way to celebrate graduation--surrounded by an elegant atmosphere and a room full of business professionals, it felt like a glimpse into the future I'm working toward. Huge thank you to my man for making it so special, and to the staff for the impeccable service!
