After just one brunch, Asiate has become one of our favorite restaurants. The food is amazing. It?s a 3 course set menu for brunch. 1st course is a tasting menu of 4 things; even if you don?t think you like an item, try it here, the dishes are delicious & innovative! (They?ll explain to you what everything is in vivid detail). 2nd course is your choice of 2 items (the sweet potato raviolis are excellent, as are the melt-in-your-mouth-like-cotton-candy waffles! all of it was spectacular but those were my faves). And then you get 2 scrumptious desserts. My husband & I are STILL dreaming of all the fabulous food we ate here! And a big plus is that the portions are a generous size ? you get a great amount of food (unlike at some fine dining establishments where there are only a few bites per course). Of course, the scenic view of Central Park/Columbus Circle is very nice & a huge plus. Service is accommodating & friendly (excluding one chilly hostess?though everything that happened after we were seated helped us to forget her, ha). Sure, it?s not cheap to eat here, but it is worth the money you pay for a special event, or if you have enough money anyway. It is a TREAT & I can?t wait until we eat here again!!
Pros: ALL the brunch food in nice portions, the view, the service
Cons: It ain't cheap, one hostess was unfriendly
