Kutshers Tribecca

Oh, nostalgia reigns supreme. A unique concept of a resort capitalizing on fond memories of it's dining hall opens a restaurant. The dining room is a modern retro 1950's affair. Some old pics remain in the front of the house. Updated faves and new ones appear on the very pricey menu. Matzoh ball soup, latkes, stuffed knishes, Catskill trout, Short ribs in red wine to name a few. Matzoh ball soup was a flavorfull broth and veggies though the matzoh was underseasoned. The latkes served with caviar is a new twist, homemade apple compote is also quite good. The short ribs in wine were tasty and the whipped mashed amazingthe Catskill trout with Meyer lemon confit was tasty. A chocolate bread pudding with poached pears and caramel brandy sauce didn't rock my boat. $115 total for two.

Palm One Steakhouse

There is no school like the old school and I'm the headmistress. Original locale sports wood booths, celebrity caricatures and the owner greets you like you haven't been here in a million years- how's the family? You come to the Palm for classics. Starting with the lobster bisque(pictured) with sherry cream you are sent straight to heaven. If you start with the lump crab meet served in an elegant silver serving dish you are also headed straight up with fresh seafood.
The steaks here are taken seriously and my rib eye(medium rare) was meat perfection. Juicy, a little fatty, bone in of course. Brussel sprouts as a side were slightly overcooked, but with a shallot flavor. A warm bag of donuts for dessert were darkly fried, warm, tasting like cornmeal served with chcocolate sauce and raspberry puree.
