    Odeon is one of my favorite restaurants - my go-to when I want a relaxed, pleasant meal with great food. Tonight I had a lovely French Onion Soup with the perfect amount of carefully toasted cheese, croutons and onions. The broth alone is a worthy, rich appetizer. The macaroni and cheese was the ultimate comfort food for this chilly evening - cheesy without being too thick or too soft - that I paired with a basic but tasty mixed green salad to make me feel healthy. I finished with my favorite dessert - the toffee pudding. It is sweet with just a touch of chewy caramelization on the crust to contrast with the tender center and an accent spoonful of perfect whipped cream. The staff - from the maitre’d to the waitresses to the servers and busboys - are exceptionally kind, efficient and just nice people. Yes, I love Odeon!

    LOVE Bondst. My favorite Japanese resto in NYC 25 years and counting. And I love how they take care of their regulars. Best order... Yuzu Martini, crab salad, tuna crispy rice, spicy crispy shrimp, chicken katsu bao, miso sea bass skewers, and chocolate lava cake.

    The dinner was spectacular in every way. Hygge in New York! The atmosphere was cozy, congenial and filled with Christmas cheer. Flowers and soft candle light everywhere. The punterelle salad was perfectly dressed with ample anchovies, the sea bream en papillote was tender and infused with deep flavor. Add a perfectly balanced negroni sbagliatto to start and the evening was perfect.
