I've Been here a few times, a couple times with my mother and brothers, and once with the wife. So anyways, It can be a bit difficult to find this place just because it doesn't seem to advertise it's whereabouts everywhere. Walk inside and its a new-modern-ish-feel... I don't know what it's considered, but anyways, greeted by a great pair of hostesses who were very inviting and sit you at the best possible seat, not whats most convenient.
At first glance at the menu i thought "What in the hell have i got myself into?"- the combination of food and the chef's desire to "deconstruct" things like a Ruben Sandwich is just amazing. First bite of food whatever it is will take your breath away, i have never had anything as delicious as i have had at graham elliot.
Not to mention- The BEST specialty drinks in the city... So good!
PS: Foie Gras Popsicle coated in Pop-Rocks... Sounds strange... Tastes Amazing!
Pros: Food is great, laid-back environment, Great people
Cons: Expensive? But worth every penny
