I just had dinner at Asiate tonight and am so disgusted I am staying up to write this review. First, it's fixed price only at $75 -- which is not a problem as long as this elegant restaurant with a very attentively-trained staff could actual EXECUTE its food prep and plating sufficiently. Both my seared foie gras appetizer and 5-spiced duck entree were COLD -- and the entree (duck) was sloppy in its plating! And if that wasn't bad enough, I was charged $41 to 2 glasses of wine with my meal. In total including tax and tip the bill was a disappointing $145 (and that's just for 1 person).
Pros: View of Central Park, Nice ambiance, Well-training staff
Cons: Cold food, Poor food plating, $20 for glass of wine
