Speaking of Wiley, have you eaten at Tailor?
Had to look it up, actually, as I just knew it as Sam Mason's place that never ever opens. Is it finally open now? I can't figure it out. I read some soft opening reviews, but nothing announcing its' public debut. I guess my "friends & family" pre launch invite got lost in the mail.
Anyway, I loved his desserts at WD. Just incredibly talented. So I guess I'll give it a shot and let you know.
This from the November issue of Gourmet: "In a lounge-y SoHo space with so much exposed wood that it calls to mind the phrase 'Bob-Villa-Industrial-Chic,' Tailor has finally opened. Sam Mason (whose previous gig was pastry chef at WD-50) has devised a crazy-fun sweet-and-savory menu with dishes like duck tartare; buttery, tender passion-fruit-poached char with lime pickle; and soft chocolate with smoked banana. Don't forget to order the "Bazooka," a vodka cocktail infused with -what else?-bubble gum."
yes the drinks (had the BOOZE-uka!!) and desserts are GREAT!!, have not tasted the other food items, but a foodie friend did and thought fantastic, interesting dress of staff and decor
