Razor Clam Crudo and Fusilli with bone marrow/octopus for dinner.
Also had the Bronzino for two with my wife for the dinner. Fantastic!
Desserts were also good.
We went back for the lunch after a dinner. It was that good.
For wine I had by the glass 2014 Michel Niellon Chassagne Montrachet Clos St Jean (lunch and dinner) and for dinner 2015 d’Angerville Volnay Clos des Ducs.
Young but fantastic.
Thanks Jay.
I had a really busy week with a meeting at the Marquis. Our World Congress of Regional Anesthesia.
After a couple of plays and dinners with my wife, I had a full week with no extra time. Next time! Hope all is well with you.
Marea is awesome. In addition to the great food, the wine list is interesting and insightful. The first time I was there they introduced me to the Corsican winery Abbatucci and the notion of red wines with Fish. (For those who haven’t had them, I find that Abbatucci reds have an element of salinity to them which pairs well with heavier fish like simple Salmon).
+1 for Brooklyn Fare as my fav…
EMP, Atera, Bianca… all better than my Marea experience… i find Marea solid, delicious, and all in all great 1 star level experience… but not at the 2 star level.
Marea versus Brooklyn Fare/Atera/Blanca…? For me, they are not at all comparable. By that I don’t mean one is so very much better than the other, but rather that they are very different kinds of dining experiences and kitchens. It really depends on what kind of meal you’re looking for, and what kind of surroundings you enjoy. I have a preference for the experience at Blanca over the dining room at Marea (love the bar, though), but I had my wedding lunch at Marea, when I wanted to ensure superb food that would not scare any of the less adventurous eaters in our families and would sufficiently honor the occasion.
