 Could there be a more storied dining room in New York than The Oak Room? Maybe not. Built in 1907, the ornate room today is gleaming with---you guessed it---plenty of oak as well as high-ceilinged glamour. You can almost smell the movers and shakers making deals here. The talented executive chef Eric Hara has created an impressive seasonal American menu, highlighted by an inventive dim sum menu, which can be ordered as a prix-fixe or à la carte. The foie gras PB&J (toasted brioche, foie gras, macadamia nut butter, and grape jelly), which Hara brought over from his days working with David Burke, is an obligatory indulgence. The crispy Berkshire pork belly and pan-seared scallops stacked with chorizo and Catalan-style quail egg yolk both offer memorable layers of flavor. They almost eclipse the entrées. But save room for the lobster and sweetbreads potpie (which is really more of a stew) and the ultra tender roasted short rib pot au feu (accented with bone marrow custard). The wine list is extensive and globe-spinning with some nice options by the glass. |
