[...] The panna cotta was creamy, not tough and gelatinous. It’s just sweet enough and the pistachio flavor was wonderful, it’s not artificial or alcoholic tasting, and the ripe, super sweet strawberries. Mmmm…I like this a lot. Admittedly a lot more than what I tasted from Eleven Madison Park when I ate there during Restaurant Week. [...]

i didnt know that white foam is tomato.. (even thou i had a whole plate by myself..) that has interesting taste, but at first glance, it looked like salmon is floating on bubble bath.. lol

many says RW food was disappointing, but it was so great to me.
again, thanks to Tina :)

Kim: From what most people who write/respond in Chowhound, EMP’s RW menu…well, sucked. The strawberry gazpacho was interesting for what it is but I don’t like it that much. And yes, I do agree that everything else was wonderful except for dessert during RW, it was horrible. The next time when I come back to EMP in the near future, I want to try their macarons (it’s one of my food obsessions).

Thanks for liking my blog! :)

it seems most people were disappointed with EMP’s RW menu. However, I have to say the pictures look gorgeous. I had the strawberry gazpacho as a free course for dinner and I hated it. I make a mango gazpacho at home so it wasn’t so much the sweetness or fruitiness I objected to but that the different flavors just didn’t work. Everything else was wonderful.

thanks for your blog. I get such satisfaction reading it.

Giulia: The food looks good and beautiful but the flavors of most of them were disappointing.

The only thing that made the experience a bit bearable was having a group of friends that have similar thoughts on the food and have a good time kind of hanging out (just because most of us have to work).

Doug: We’ve got to do this again! Probably we should stick with Shake Shack since it’s just right across the street…or gun for pork coma at Momofuku Ssäm! ;)

The tomato foam was awesome – I ate mine like a soup as well. The salmon was good too – and the salad was…a salad. The almonds are actually the white things in the picture (theyre blanched).

Let’s do it again sometime under more delicious circumstances :)
