We had the luxe chef’s menu at the Central Park restaurant and honestly, it was such a great experience. For a place with that kind of grounds and view, the food could’ve been mediocre and they’d still probably get away with it but it just happened to be that the food, service, and setting were all phenomenal.
The little radish tart (shaped like a rose, too cute) was one of the first bites and it was so good. The beet gel amuse was insanely flavorful- tiny but packed a punch. Then we had a mussel mousse with the honeycomb crisp on top. Stunning and actually tasted even better- a super well balanced dish.
The crab salad was another standout. Apraragus, (ripe) green strawberries, caviar, light sauce… PHENOMMMMM. One of those dishes you randomly think about weeks later. We also had their staple whitefish as a main but I was quite full by this point and not as much in the mood for hot food.
The raspberry dessert with the CP stamp looked amazing but was a little too tart/acidic for me. The soufflé though? Unreal. Like, “wake me up in the middle of the night for a bite of that”.
I would absolutely go back, no question. It felt special without being stuffy, and there was certainly no bad food here! They earned their star for sure 😊
