Alice and I decided to try Brasserie 8 1/2, which we had first seen featured on an episode of Sex in the City.
Carrie cleverly narrates that “it was a little past 10 and I was dressed to the nines at Brasserie 8 ½,” the swanky, subterranean Midtown restaurant and lounge where she and Stanford are sipping dirty martinis.
The cuisine is a French fusion, and we LOVED it. Our reservation was for 7:00, and somehow we didn't leave the restaraunt until after 9:30...partly due to the seemingly never ending bottle of Reisling, which was delicous. To start, I had the grilled quail with a cocoa fig chutney. We both had the Novia Scotia lobster risotto for the main course, and finished with a sliver of the finest chocolate cake I have ever encountered.
