I just returned from dinner at Asiate. Have I had better meals? Of course. But this was outstanding. I read the reviews of others here, who seem to have ordered from the menu, rather than trying the tasting menu. Wow. The winter tasting menu with wine pairings is amazing. We enjoyed a leisurely 2.5 hour meal -- impeccable service, polite, not a an ounce of pretention, only professionalism. The second course of the tasting menu... wow! It alone was worth the price. The only not so tasty element - the slightly dry pressed duck, in the third course. Excellent job, reasonably priced for a menu of this type, with excellent service -- not at all what I read here. Yeah, the view was nice, the food equal to it.
