Restaurants attached to hotels tend to charge their customers for convenience; this one--part of the ultra-luxurious Essex House on Central Park South--charges for quality, atmosphere and a well-known cook in the kitchen. Formerly of Eleven Madison Park, executive chef Kerry Heffernan takes a cue from the views across the street as he creates seasonal American fare, including red snapper with celery fondue, pork belly with leeks, and lamb with rutabaga. All those greens practically require a guilt-free conclusion like chocolate millefeuille or pot de creme.

We celebrated our anniversary here. I had the lamb chops, they were truly delicious: my wife enjoyed her lobster. The staff were all friendly & attentive, and we were brought champagne and a special dessert on account of the occasion. Top marks!

What a wonderful new establish for the midtown area! The restaurant is conveniently located at the heart of Manhattan which makes it an ideal meeting place for drinks or an incredible meal. I have been to this restaurants several times and always get the pork belly. It is truly one of the best things on the menu. My friends love the kimchi lobster--a real unique that will make you rethinking how you see shellfish. Their wine list is superb and I always start by going to the bar while I wait for my friend to stroll in. Of course, make room for dessert!

I enjoyed drinks and then dinner with 3 business associates last night. The bar had a great drink menu and several creative and tasty mixed drinks. The bar was pretty well-attended by the after-work crowd. Then we had dinner in the dining room - the food was excellent, the server very friendly and helpful (and not snotty at all like you'd expect at a restaurant at the hoity toity Essex House!), and we were comfortable throughout the evening. Is a hip dining option in the area - decor was modern, with lots of mirrors, marble and wood. Definitely a must-try.
