The Review Fer Another Of My Fav's!

Terrace at the Fifth





When a Caribbean resort isn’t an option, there’s this civilized rooftop. Five floors above the Easy’s throbbing dance floor, the Terrace is more clubhouse than Clubland. French manicures clutch icewine martinis at the covered wooden bar; cigar-smoking men in black lounge on couches beneath crisp white marquees. An electric piano plays louder as night falls and more guests arrive for drinks and cigarettes. Food isn’t the point for most, but the chef perseveres. Even the rosemary olives—picholine, kalamata and green—are quality. Steak tartare ($10, as a main $28) is emboldened by Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and two mini-mounds of capers and diced gherkins; the day’s salad features wonderfully tender grilled quail atop mesclun and remarkably insipid yellow tomatoes. Oysters and foie gras tempt the hedonist. All mains ($24–$35), with the exception of steak tartare, begin on the barbecue: four meats for blue-shirted males, Cornish hen and grilled fish for the less sanguine. Tenderloin, with a slick of béarnaise, is perfectly timed, the flavour of its tarragon-touched sauce echoed in a fan of grilled fennel. The day’s fish, tuna, goes niçoise with a pungent sauce of capers, olives and anchovies, freshened by discs of mustardy new potatoes and tangy grilled artichoke hearts. To finish: $36 buys two people three small pieces of very fine French cheese, along with raisin-walnut bread and a little fruit; a daily dessert is the only sweet. But kind servers will source other options from the Fifth: perhaps a vanilla-speckled custard that is topped, not with a caramel crust, but a smooth layer of Valrhona; the dessert needs only a darker, more bitter chocolate to achieve nirvana. Lovely francophile wine list (plus a host of pre- and post-prandial drinks), with some nice options by the glass. Competent tag-team service offers shawls to the inadequately dressed. Open Thursday to Saturday.
$165.00
 
A Wildcard! The Review.

Hemispheres







Service matches a calm, gracious ambience in which every detail has been considered, from flavoured breads to a star-studded wine list smoothly tailored to the cooking. Lighting in the tall, elegant space has been dimmed enough to give meaning to candles on formally accoutred tables and draw the eye to the open kitchen. Patrick Lin’s long menu is a tempting card, subtly embroidered with always relevant Asian threads. Nightly specials are courteously printed out: a beautifully balanced spinach cream soup, perhaps, poured over peppery golden chanterelles, with unblended spinach leaves sautéed with butter and garlic providing surprising moments of intensity. The sweetness of a ginger- and fennel-spiked salsa of ripe mango and tomato makes delicately spiced tuna tartare served in tiny cups of cucumber seem more savoury, sharing the plate with two juicy sautéed prawns and a tangily dressed little salad. Delectable lobster tail, charred but still rare, lies over zucchini ribbons and petals of dramatically colourful heritage tomatoes, their flesh as soft as the accompanying mango and avocado. Taro root sticks and crisply fried lotus root provide textural interest; pepper oils extend the flavour palette. Simple grilled steaks and other meats boost the mains, but the kitchen is capable of so much more. Crisp crackling enhances a superb rack of suckling pig, paired with a tender, bacon-wrapped confit of its leg meat. Apple and turnip star among surrounding baby vegetables; the sauce is an unabashedly rich, dark reduction. Salt-crusted sea bass, butter soft, lolls on small fried Thai shrimp cakes slathered with fennel confit; root vegetables are turned to pearls over a creamy gingered fennel sauce. Banana cream pie has emerged as the signature dessert, an opulence of fresh bananas and vanilla crème brûlée in a crisp phyllo shell.
