We had an amazing tasting at WD50 last week. I think this is a new thing for them (at least having it listed on the menu.) Just another reason to go check out (or return to) this amazing place.
And then last night we had a tasting at Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar, the somewhat new place by the team from Jewel Bako. It's right across the street on 5th between 2nd and 3rd. Amazing interior. Two floors in what was a tiny residential building. You feel like you are inside someone's perfectly decorated house. Very classy. Some in our group thought it was too fussy, but I loved it. There is really no other place I've been to with this feel.
The food was very good, if not breathtaking. But the tasting took a long time. 4 and a half hours! Really too long in my opinion. And it's not that I can't imagine a meal of that duration, it's just that this wasn't it.
Nice wine list, with some really high end French stuff we carefully avoided.
All in all I really recommend one trip, at least, for the interior experience. Get dressed up. Pretend you are living in a different, more dignified, age. Very fun, if long, night.
