There are numerous restaurants from very casual (The Park) which I love for salads, burgers, paninis, etc. to fine dining like Del Posto (Mario Batali) & Craft Steak (Tom Collicchio) -both are excellent although a bit pricey, but today I went to the Standard Grill, on West 13th, under the Highline & part of the Standard Hotel, and the Biergarten.
I ordered the most fabulous salad- a Lobster salad served over micro greens with Gigante white beans (yes, Gigante- not a type-o) super large over sized white beans & topped with Caviar- YUM! It was just fantastic, served in a light citrus vinaigrette, nice slices of celery and lots of large chunks of lobster meat- really excellent! My husband has the eggs florentine, which were also quite good, baked & served in its own pan with brioche toast.
On each table, they have the most adorable ceramic sets of salt & pepper shakers, all different types of breeds of dogs,, attached magnetically nose to nose. We had Scottish Terriers, and next to us were a set of Daschunds, French Poodles, and Beagles. They were so cute!
The service was wonderful. The only problem I had was when I went downstairs to the restroom. The area is very large and open, and not clearly marked and I walked into the Mens' room & there was someone there! OMG! OOOPS! Yikes! How embarrassing!
So, that was today's adventure.
It's worth a trip there but be careful & look both ways if or when you need the restroom! LOL
