Description
Veteran restaurateurDrew Nieporents white-on-whitesanctuary focuses all attention on chef Paul Liebrandts finely wrought food. Sweet bay scallops anchor a visual masterpiece, featuring wisps of radish,
marcona almonds and sea urchin. Order the sweetbreads and a server arrives to show off the eggs used in the dishpastel-hued specimens so gently poached, it takes less than a pinprick to unleash their yolks. Desserts are no less striking: Choose the riff on French toast, with brioche, passion-fruit curd, brioche-infused ice cream and a pungent smear of Stilton.

We had a almost perfect dinner with extraordinary good food! Unfortunately the courses were served too fast for a perfect experience. Very nice and cosy atmosphere, lovely walllpaper. Though the service was not what we expected. The waiters were friendly, but some showed low level of motivation or did not know what to do, others were just arrogant. On top of a dirty glass we finally got dirty cutlery served without special excuse! Luckily a very polite, service minded sommelier did a great job!
