We decided to do a museum weekend and stayed at a hotel right by Rockefeller Center.
We came back from a lot of walking, and decided we would have dinner at this restaurant right at the hotel. The front desk made a reservation for us, and we arrived a little early but were seated right away.
It was very cold outside, and they did have patio seating which gave a little draft where we were seated. It wasn't bad, and as the night went on, it got comfortable.
The place was pretty full, and even the colder patio area seemed to be packed, but service was spot on.
I accidentally dropped a bread plate, and before I could lean over and pick it up, one of the other servers had already picked it up, while another slid a replacement plate from another table onto ours, and another server replaced that one. It happened so quick, but I felt was really remarkable after I had observed the whole thing. I was tempted to drop something else, but restrained myself.
Started off with a couple of cocktails, then appetizers, and the main courses. Everything came out timely, and very well prepared. Not once did I have to get someone's attention for anything. Our waiter was always nearby and very attentive, but not hovering.
The martinis were perfect and almost went down too easily. The Polpo was perfectly grilled and had a nice delicate bite. I'm a fan of goat cheese in my salad, so we got the Duomo51, which had some blueberries and a light lemon dressing which was just right. My better half had the Lobster Ravioli special, and I had the Ribeye. This arrived very hot with a great sear, but medium rare as I ordered it. They had sliced it while on the bone before grilling, so each piece was nicely crusted and medium rare. We skipped dessert, but did have a couple more martinis. They were delicious.
