The sauce had great acidity (recurring theme of the night) to offset the slightly fatty nature of the fish. Great but didn’t reach the esoteric height of the Binchotan grilled Nodoguro I had at Hayato.įlaky. There was also a texture contrast between the popping of caviar and the crab’s softness while the sauce linked everything together with its creaminess.Īkamutsu / Nodoguro with White Wine Sauce Similar to JR’s pairing of caviar and king crab, I get the perfect balance of sweetness from the crab and salty of from the caviar. This caviar course was right up there with TFL’s oysters and pearls and JR’s caviar course. Again, details of the sauce for most courses escaped me. I can’t overstate how the balance of each component was spot on!ĭivine. Hokkaido Uni Brioche Toast with Black My breath was taken away! We were instructed to conquer this beast in 2 bites. There was a slight crunch from the kelp for a change of pace in texture. The heaviness of this oily fish was countered with a tart and creamy sauce.

They were quietly going about their business with efficient movements the whole night. Unlike many chef’s counter, you don’t get to interact with the kitchen staff. The restaurant is located at the back of the grocery store and has its own private restroom. For another course, the clear use of Jamon Iberico was not even mentioned as part of the course. For example, one of the course was described as a custard without elaborating on what the custard is. Many times over, side ingredients or specifics of the course were left out in the description. One thing to note, however, is that description of each course was minimalist. I felt right at home talking and joking with the friendly waiters and waitresses. I was about 3.7 miles away from the restaurant but it took our Lyft a good 50 mins to get to the restaurant…ĭespite the jacket required dress code, the restaurant has a classy but relaxing environment. Upon emailing them, I was told that they have a 90% success rate in getting a reservation for their customers at Chef’s Table at Brooklyn Fare and lo and behold, I got my confirmation email the day reservation opened up for my desired date and time. I generally hate hunting down reservations myself (hello TFL and Sushi Saito HK?) so I had Visa Signature concierge do that for me.
