Asiate @ Mandarin Oriental

 

Did I mention its is Restaurant Week?

After a meeting last week, I proceeded to the Columbus Center. Up 36 floors to the Mandarin Oriental's lobby (yes, lobby) - where the Lobby Lounge (duh.) and Asiate are both located. Asiate impressed me. From the breath-taking views of Central Park to the highly-attentive service to the great food, I was impressed. I'd be back and I'm bringing my friends and family. Maybe next Restaurant Week?

Mesa Grill

 

It's Restaurant Week in New York!

First stop this time around: Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill on Fifth Avenue. It's a three-course prix-fixe meal for $24.07.

I was not overwhelmed. The food was okay, and that's where the problem lies. It was just okay. I wanted to be wowed but sadly, I did not get it here. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes. Chances I'll be back: Maybe. Out of five, Mesa gets a 3.5.

Dallas BBQ | Times Square

 

Had a quick dinner here after a show at the Radio City. They had a promotion for 2 half-chicken mealswith soup, rice and cornbread for $9.99. Plus $1 each meal for the honey bbq sauce which was so yummy. I can't think of ordering it without any sauce at all. Over-all, the meal was alright - the chicken was well-cooked (they said it was rotisseried but I think it was fried) and was huge as well. And for $9.99 (for two!), it was a steal.
