Redeye Grill: how service can ruin a meal
Sometimes you get excited going to a place but unfortunately, your plan does not go the way you thought. That is what happened with Redeye Grill, a restaurant located across from The Carnegie Hall that went recently through renovation and had one of the best banana cream pie I tried in the city. We decided to go on a Friday evening not knowing that they have live music. Fortunately the weather was nice and we decided to sit in one of their tables outside. I wonder if it was not a mistake! We sat there with their menu for a bit before our waiter came asking if we wanted some water and if we were ready to order. We were and I was surprised to see that he did not write down our order, impressed by such memory.

We sat there with their menu for a bit before our waiter came asking if we wanted some water and if we were ready to order. We were and I was surprised to see that he did not write down our order, impressed by such memory. For sure he had difficulties to understand my accent and most of my sentences where followed by a “what?”. I was not impressed that long as he came back asking to confirm the order few minutes later. Then it took a while to get our appetizers, that were finally followed by our drinks (Jodi ordered a pink grapefruit tonic and I got a cocktail, The French Quarter, made with cognac, rye, bitters and absinthe). I had to try their dancing shrimp that are Coconut battered colossal shrimp served with a pineapple sauce, a ponzu sauce and a salsa verde. The presentation was spectacular, the shrimp coming on skewers. Taste wise, it was quite good, crispy and not greasy, the shrimp being well cooked. The second appetizer was guacamole and chips that was nice, the chips being homemade and the guacamole perfectly done, definitely freshly made.

At this point, no water. As we finished our first courses, we waited again a while looking at the managers walking around and cleaning tables, looking at us but definitely ignoring us. Finally, the entrees came. Orgininally I was going for crab cakes but as I ordered the waiter let me know that there was no crab dish available that was a bit surprising for a restaurant with a large seafood selection and I wished they told me before. On top of that, several yummy dishes do have crab in it...So I went for...steak. I ordered a Delmonico ribeye that was supposed to be served with a bordelaise sauce that I asked on the side. When the steak came, there was no trace of bordelaise sauce and instead, I got some blue cheese, that was fine as I did not care much about the sauce. When I cut the steak, I could see that it was not a good cut and, fortunately for me, it was cooked medium and not medium rare as ordered. I told one of the staff who told me he would tell our waiter immediately and then proceeded to clean tables...Finally, our waiter stopped by, apologizing and then coming back few minutes to let me know the steak would come soon and that the Chef mentioned that it was indeed medium-rare but they would bring me a steak a bit more rare than medium (that’s what I would probably call medium-rare anyway and I was a bit surprised about the comment that was unnecessary). This is at that point that we got our water! It took a good 10 to 15 minutes for the steak to come back and I could see a difference in the quality and temperature (below, you can see the one on the left that was cooked medium and the one on the right that is in fact more rare than medium-rare). The steak was good, juicy, but a bit tough to cut in some parts.

We were glad that Jodi got a cold dish as we waited a while between the moment she got it and the moment I got my dish. It was the Green Goddess veggie roll made with asparagus, avocado, daikon and a spicy miso.

After we finished our entree, our waiter was nowhere to be found so we decided to skip the dessert we were so looking forward to have. And to top the poor service we had, they counted two steaks on the bill and added the blue cheese sauce I never asked for! Good that I always check the bill before paying. And again, I got a bit of an attitude from the waiter who, instead of apologizing told me that he was “not a computer”. Well I could have guessed but it is not a reason to be rude! At least you should apologize for a blatant mistake. Anyway, this was disappointing and shows how poor service can wreck a meal. Too bad because the food was decent and I was so looking forward for that banana cream pie.
Enjoy (…)!

Thai Select in Hell's Kitchen
It has been three years that I discovered Thai Select, a Thai restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. As we were looking recently for a place to eat, walking towards Port Authority on 9th, we stumbled upon it and decided to have dinner there. The place did not change besides the Halloween decor that was all over and the room in the back with its backlit photo still looks beautiful.

As usual, I started my meal with a Thai iced tea that is one of my favorite drinks, that did not last long...

We then shared two appetizers: the crispy tofu with chili sauce (a bit bland so you need a lot of sauce) and the chive pancakes that were quite delicious.

For the entrees, Jodi wanted a mushroom dish that they unfortunately do not offer anymore (they should mark that on the menu) and ended up with string beans and tofu, served with a soy garlic sauce. Good but I admit a bit boring for me (Jodi loves it). On my side, I went for a chicken curry massaman, classic and safe usually. This was good, tasty and not spicy. Well made although not the best I had.

Overall it is was a good meal: Thai Select is a good choice if you are in the area. Know that they serve dishes a bit less classic than the one we had like their honey duck I had last time, so discovering their menu can be a nice adventure.
Enjoy (I did)!

Roasted Masala in The Upper West Side
I was craving Indian food and coincidentally, I saw a photo on Instagram of a dish at Roasted Masala, an Indian restaurant in the Upper West Side. The photo was posted by my friend Malini, The Restaurant Fairy, who seemed excited about the food there and knowing her, if she was positive, it meant that it was good. So we decided to check the restaurant website and our excitement went up: lots of classic dishes, but not only.

So we decided to check the restaurant website and our excitement went up: lots of classic dishes, but not only. They have lots of vegetarian dishes, so it was perfect for Jodi, street food dishes as well as ones that I never seen before or maybe never noticed, away from the classic chicken tikka Masala that I bet is good anyway.
Dining room at Roasted Masala in The Upper West Side
We went there for an early dinner as we had an early lunch (only way to get a reservation to the restaurant we went to for brunch). And let me tell you: we had a solid appetite as we walked all day from Midtown to Downtown and then Downtown to the Upper West Side. So the place was empty when we arrived. Big and with a nice decor, I appreciated the fact that the noise level was low, as customers came. It seems that lots of patrons were from the neighborhood that is good, but, we felt at some point that they neglected us a bit. Despite that, the food was really good and Jodi was grateful that it was not spicy. Here is what we had:
Lasooni Gobi, an Indo-Chinese dish that is a stir fried cauliflower smothered by a garlic sauce (lasooni means garlic in Hindi).
Lasooni gobi at Roasted Masala in The Upper West Side
Another dish I love is pakora, these fritters that are so comforting: isn’t anything fried so good? So they do have onion fritters that do not even need any sauce to dip them in: the onions were cooked all the way through and the outside was delightfully crispy.

Then we hesitated as we love samosa, these fried turnovers usually filled with a vegetarian mix made with potato and peas. But we finally went for samosa chaat, a sort of crushed samosa with onion, yogurt and tamarind sauce. The presentation is not always good for that dish but the taste, that is an explosion of flavors because of all the ingredients, is delicious.

For the entrees, we shared a dal makhni that was creamy and had just a slight kick and I got a chicken dish: chicken kolhapuri that is chicken cooked in roasted spices. Good, not spicy, the chicken was perfectly cooked and the sauce, although not as creamy as I like sauces in Indian cuisine, quite good. In fact, I skipped the rice and ate it with the cheddar naan that was one of their take on cheese naan.

For dessert, I first wanted to get one of their choices that has jelebi in it, a very sweet pastry rarely seen on a menu, but, unfortunately, they did not have any and we ended up with some delicious gulab jamun.

So overall, this was a very good meal, tasty and comforting. I would definitely go back to Roasted Masala to try other dishes.

Brunch at La Bouche Cafe in Hoboken, NJ
Going to La Bouche Café is like trying to go to a Rolling Stone’s concert: difficult to get a ticket but once you are there, you enjoy it (just so you know, I have never been to their concert). This place that used to be on Garden Street, off the beaten path, has now a prime location on Washington street with a little outdoor space. Their, Chef and owner Esra Yuzer who is from Turkey, serves a European menu with few Mediterranean dishes. We tried to go few times but it was always busy and we were not willing to wait.

So it is on Columbus Day that we got lucky and sat outside for lunch on a beautiful day. Jodi ordered their crispy fried goat cheese salad, a goat cheese salad being a classic French dish that Jodi often orders when we are in France. This one had strawberries and a pomegranate balsamic vinaigrette that added a nice sweetness.

On my side, I could not resist their French burger, made with caramelized onions, blue cheese, cheddar fondue, crispy bacon, on a Balthazar potato roll. When it came, I was surprised to see that it did not come with any side, but, as it was big, I did not bother. It looked beautiful, with the cheese fondue all over. And the first bite was divine: the roll was soft and you get first the taste of the cheeses that pair perfectly together, then the crunch of the bacon and the delicious flavor of the meat that was juicy and perfectly cooked medium. It was messy but so good that I literally inhaled it.

We also had some chai that is tea: regular for Jodi and dirty for me: not that it was served in a dirty glass or with an olive, but more with honey, vanilla and espresso (I could barely taste the latter).

Brunch at Motel Morris in Chelsea
We passed many times in front of Motel Morris in Chelsea, a place that only has such name because of the nostalgia of the 1960s from the owners. Yes, it is just a restaurant and not attached at all to a hotel. But an interesting restaurant for the atmosphere it carries: retro from its decor and popular from its crowd.

Menu wise, for brunch, it proposes an elevated all American menu with classics like burgers and eggs. And, reminiscent of diners, floats but spiked with alcohol, like the bourbon cherry coke float that is an interesting fusion of a vanilla milkshake and an old fashioned. But don’t be fooled: there is indeed bourbon in it and if you do not taste it at first because you did not mix the whole thing enough, you feel some warmth in the back of your throat that will remind you you are not just getting your daily dose of calcium.

They have lots of dishes to share and the ricotta fritters, served on ricotta and rhubarb compote are the perfect way to start or even finish your meal. However, for $14, I would have expected a bigger serving and cannot fathom anybody ordering this as a main dish. Nevertheless, these fritters were delicious: fluffy, with the outside slightly crunchy, I liked the addition of the rhubarb compote that paired well with the ricotta and added some sweetness.

I mentioned the burger before that is probably good, but I was in the mood for a fried chicken sandwich. The one at Motel Morris is served with celery root cabbage that is unfortunately a bit overpowering. Still, the chicken was good, crispy, tasty and cooked all the way through without being dry. It as served with some greens, probably to give the impression it is a healthy dish…

Jodi chose a salad and went for the hacienda salad that she asked without jalapeños. It was a fairly big salad composed of tomato, lettuce, avocado, black beans, cotilla cheese and a coriander ranch dressing.

We did not have dessert as we had the fritters and were planning to go somewhere else, but overall, we had a good brunch there that makes me want to go for dinner.

Brunch at Cafe Henri in Long Island City
As we were in Long Island City, we decided to find a brunch place and ended up at Café Henri few steps from the subway station. We went for an 11:30am brunch and I could not believe how crowded this place was! Luckily, we got a table fairly quickly. I love the decor there, with his big chandelier hanging from the ceiling and the core color of the walls that gave an old feel to a place that definitely feels like your neighborhood joint, like stepping in a restaurant in Paris without the price of the flight.

Next where crepes: I went for the complete that is with ham, cheese and egg. It was good and had lots of cheese but I just wished they let the yolk runny.

Jodi made her own that is a great option on the menu and picked three ingredients: Swiss, goat and mushrooms. Delicious.

For dessert, we went for the butter and sugar crepe that had a bit too much butter and not enough sugar. Still, it was good.

Brunch at The Ribbon on the Upper West Side
As we had to be on the Upper West Side, we checked out a brunch place and stumbled upon The Ribbon, a pretty big restaurant on 72nd and Amsterdam. Yes big place with the bar room when you enter that I bet is crowded and noisy in the evening, and a large dining room in the back, with a view of the kitchen.

Before going there, I already knew what I would get there: yes, we always check the menu before going to a restaurant! I wanted to try their fried chicken sandwich that was composed, besides fried chicken, of lettuce, tomato and their house sauce. The first bite was delicious: the fried chicken was moist and crispy. In fact I could have just eaten that chicken without anything else.

Jodi opted for the crispy tofu that was an interesting dish to propose on an all American menu. It was smothered in a black pepper glaze that was very good and that, contrary to Jodi, I did not find spicy (it depends on your sensitivity to spice food).

So overall we had a great meal at The Ribbon: I would certainly go back for brunch or dinner there to explore a bit more their menu (their Ribbon dip looks amazing).

Chi Dumplings and noodles at The Plaza Food Court
After going to The Plazza Food Court and trying No 7 Sub, we decided to go back and get a taste of Chi Dumplings and Noodles, a casual Chinese restaurant located in the back. But we did not go for ramen or noodles: no, we decided to share a bunch of dishes. As the name has dumplings in it, we ordered their vegetable dumplings and their shrimp dumplings. I do not know why but when I see green dumplings I always have an apprehension that it will have too much spinach in it. And it did. At least the shrimp dumplings were decent.

Last we’re the pork buns that were good but missing hoisin sauce. Fortunately they have a bottle that I grabbed quickly, making the dish more flavorful.

No 7 Sub at The Plaza Food Court
The Plaza is a beautiful hotel and lots of people are missing out on the food court that is in the basement and features various places like Lady M, Billy’s Bakery, Luke’s Lobster or No 7 Sub that we tried recently. Their menu offers only few vegetarian options like the broccoli classic that Jodi tried: made with…roasted broccoli…as well as lychee muchim (that I think is pickled lychee), feta, fried shallots and mayonnaise. I admit that when she proposed me to try, I hesitated, not being a huge fan of broccoli, but was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it tasted good when all mixed together, the feta giving a nice saltiness to the sandwich. On my side, I hesitated between the Dr Melfi made with salami, mozzarella and …

On my side, I hesitated between the Dr Melfi made with salami, mozzarella and fried zucchini, and the Perfect Chicken Sandwich, made with fried chicken, Muchim pickles and mayonnaise. I went for the latter and added some BBQ chips that you can add to any sandwich. This was a fantastic sandwich: similar to the Broccoli one, the bread was fresh and soft; the fried chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy, moist and cooked all the way through. I loved the acidity the pickles were adding and the crunchiness and saltiness added by the chips. I definitely recommend it.

Enzo Bruni Pizza Gourmet in The Gansevoort Market
On a recent trip to The Gansevoort Market, we decided to try some pizza sold by the slice from Enzo Bruni, replacing Luzzo’s that used to be there for years. The pizza definitely looked good and they propose a nice selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian pies. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the burrata one that had lots of this creamy cheese: the crust was good, puffed up and charred on the sides and thin in the center, like a Neapolitan pizza should be.

The one with pancetta that I tried was good but a bit too salty; It had a square crust that was crispy. For a more decadent slice, you can also try the tartufata, made with mushrooms and black olives, and a hint of truffle oil.

Burger Inc in The Gansevoort Market
We like sometimes to go to The Gansevoort Market to see what they have to offer and there are often new choices there, the proximity of Chelsea Market close by probably making business more difficult. So, as we were there with Jodi’s cousin Rebecca, I could not resist trying Burger Inc as I saw few months before that they propose a burger with bone marrow, The Don. So I went for it and did not regret it: the bone marrow gave a nice fattiness to the sandwich that had a tasty charred beef patty that was juicy.
