NYC: Eleven Madison Park (Apr. 2013 #2)

Restaurant: Eleven Madison Park

Lunch
Victor’s Notes:
I FINALLY got around to getting lunch with Montague here! The photos are better because of the lighting, too. Life is good.
I decided to play around and get vegetable dishes instead of foie gras or beef/duck.
Monte’s Thoughts: Last September I had heard a lot about the changes happening at Eleven Madison and thought it was really exciting that they were creating a narrative concept for the restaurant. I think the meal actually wasn’t that much of a narrative, in the sense that there wasn’t an elaborate story with lots of interaction between the restaurant and the diner. However, the food was wonderful in of itself (Hurrah!) and is all that I could possibly ask for.

Dinner: Mom’s Visit Meal #3!
Victor’s Notes:
As some of you know, my mom and my cousin visited me last weekend, and I decided to show her some of my favorite fine dining restaurants in the city. This is stop #3 of 4: Eleven Madison Park! (Unfortunately, the second post about Jungsik isn’t really ready yet, but I think I’ll just go ahead and publish this one. We’ll have another EMP post soon enough, so this will spread it out more.)
It got dark around the time we had the seventh course (brook trout), so the pics get considerably worse from then on. I’ll have better pics in the next EMP post; Monty’s taking me there for lunch ^___^!

Victor: My mom and my cousin visited me last weekend, and I wanted to show them some of my favorite fine dining restaurants in the city! This is stop #1 of 4: Dovetail!
Food:
Amuse-bouche 1:
White truffle arancini, rosemary wheat cracker, and cornbread.
Victor: These were amazing as usual!
Monte: They seriously don’t get old. That first bite of the cornbread, when the crunchy exterior gives way to the steamy sweet corn filling…yum.
David: The arancini had a nice texture and lasting taste.
