Four Seasons

A NY institution, I have always had an itch to try the Four Seasons.  When I saw the sale on Gilt I thought it would be a great dinner to take my mom to when she came into town.

 

They had a lovely bread basket with rolls, croissants and served perfect little grape tomatoes that were so juicy and good you couldn't stop popping them in your mouth.

 

 

I did the crudo tasting to start which was ok.

 

 

 

They gave us as our second course a sweet corn ravioli with mushroom and shrimp which was so amazing.

 

 

 

 

I got the Branzino for dinner.

 

 

 

Loved the cotton candy that came to the table!

 

 

And had the sorbet for dessert as well.  Delicious and refreshing.

 

 

They also brought over alittle champagne which was a great way to finish this dining experience.

Sirio

Sirio in The Pierre Hotel was participating in restaurant week so I went by to try their menu on a summer Friday.  When I got there I saw they had a Espresso Lunch for $26 every lunch M-F which is two courses and a coffee.  Since I am not so much of a dessert person, I choose this option.

 

Their tuna and bean salad was fabulous.  It was oil based tuna which transported me to Florence, it was so Italian!  The onion and celery were a great crunch.

 

 

I had the trout as my main and it was very well cooked and the sauce was divine! Loved the almonds too.

 

 

 

A wonderful place for a very fancy lunch at a great price.
