I knew I had to visit the historic site of the Four Seasons in Manhattan before the closed shop and switched locations. My visit didn't disappoint. I knew I'd be in for a treat having been to the Four Seasons in Ireland. I had expected a beautiful ambiance, delicious food, a great drink and good company. I got that and more.
I decided to order from the pre-theater menu. The only bad thing about that was that I wasn't going to the theater afterwards. Hamilton tickets would have been perfect but I digress. I started my meal off with the Crisp Shrimp, mostarda di frutta and lord it did things to my pallet that to this day makes me crave them. So damn good. I ate every bit of them. I followed up my appetizer with the Grilled Hanger Steak with stir-fried bok choy, shitakes, lotus root, and asian chimichurri. It was great. I ordered my steak medium well and ate every morsel. The steak was juicy and flavorful and was only enhanced by the chimichurri. I had only wished I didn't eat it all so that I could take a bag home. In between each bite I sipped on my dry martini with three olives. It was the quintessential accompaniment to my meal.
Eating, and drinking while watching the impromptu fashion show courtesy of the "rich" women that dined at the restaurant I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I capped off my meal with a cup of cappuccino and with the Milk Chocolate-Salted Caramel Bar, malted sablé, brown butter ice cream. Perfection. The appetizer, the entree, the beverages and dessert were the main four reasons for the four seasons but the added bonus of my company, view and ambiance made me annoyed that I hadn't gone sooner. The restaurant is closing next month but I know for sure I'll be dining at the new location upon its reopening.
