I have to say, service and cooking is immaculate--that's a good piece a fish ya knowhaddamean? Sauces were great, tasted asian-y is as best as I can put it. I don't remember much other than some kind of black garlic persian lemon sauce with my black bass, and pata negra emulsion with the roasted monkfish. Escolar was delicious with kaffir lime-lemongrass scented mariniere and sea beans + nori. Desserts were good. Everything was nice, just not mindblowing. Strangely enough I salivate more thinking of Tchoup Shop than I do Le Bernarin. Still, an experience to be had. I think so far on this level of fine dining, I still like Marea much more than the rest.
ONWARD!!
Oysters to start (Albie's)--assorted west coast/east coast including kumamoto and others I didn't pay attn to :)
I had the poached escolar. Sauce. was. amazeballs. Really dug the lemon grass and kaffir lime. Subtle!
Salmon rillettes--not a big fan of salmon, but I liked it enough to eat a significant chunk!
Roasted monkfish! monkfish was meh, sauce again was delish. Morels = <3.
Desserts--refreshing, light, nice...nice. no exclamation marks. :)

Hazelnut-vanilla marshmallows:
...and...financiers & coffee to finish!
