Marc Forgione (New American)

Michelin 2009 1 star restaurant

Saturday 8/21, we made the reservation for my friend Sonya's bday.. it was a blast..

service: very attentive, chef  himself even came out couple times to make sure we are happy with our meals...

food order: 5 courses tasting menu $76
complimentary appetizers: most amazing one is the "BLT"- Stokes Farms Heirloom Tomato Salad, Crispy Pig Ears, Smoked Onion Remoulade
1st dish: Hiramasa Tartare, Avocado, Sechuan Buttons, Pinenuts, Saratoga Chips (chew on sechuan buttons before dine in Hiramasa Tartare, the numbly taste sensation is quite interesting)
in btwn dish: lamb pasta (for a non-lamb eater, i finished the whole dish)
2nd course: chilly lobster (ahhh.. forgot what ingredient in it... it's very spicy but taste soo good)
3rd course: wild striped bass(another yumm) w deep fried bone chip
4rd course: signature steak (toward this course we were already full... took a bite and wrapped up the rest... it was a delicious lunch the next day :p)
5th the final dessert: i was a bit disappointed at first, cuz they only serve one cup of "sundae" for 2 of us to share.... OMG... turn  out, t was the most satisfying thing to end this meal... it's a mix combo of chocolate ice cream w both fried and chocolate coated banana... love it.....

ps. he is going to be competing for the next iron chef... check out Bravo on 10/03/2010..
