had long wanted to see the new restaurant Charlie Palmer in New York, and last night I finally met . Located on the Upper East Side Just two blocks from Central Park, the restaurant is a local classic, divided into two floors.
begin with a snack of salmon strips of orange rind. Rich and refreshing. Then we went for the tasting menu, consisting of 5 dishes and two desserts. We started with a fine of tuna sashimi on a bed of endive and citrus. The sashimi was rather a small sample, and escarole dish predominated over everything else.
After lobster salad with artichokes, truffles and new potatoes. The nose, although sure it was Italian and fresh, was frozen and no flavor. Texture, seemed cardboard. The lobster, plastic. Difficult to catch a English seafood outside Spain ...
The best dish on the menu, a taco of grilled salmon with Provencal herbs, accompanied by a cream of sweet corn. Rich, crunchy and tasty. We
with foie, caramelized with vinegar, and served with a tomato and endive marmalade. Excessively greasy little accomplished, and without any interest.
Finally, some back of confit of duck with honey and carrots. Very cute duck, but not flavor. A pity.
For dessert, watermelon infusion of hail, with balls of tapioca. Curious, but without much emotion. Finally, a tarte tatin of apricots, blueberries and ginger, accompanied by vanilla ice cream.
finally turned out to be a disappointment this restaurant. The good and attentive service, but too heavy. The price proved too much for the results. Like wine, a Syrah from Sonoma (California, USA).
