Bar Americain – New York City

By March 2, 2010November 19th, 2010Food
immediately notice a comfortable warmth
that radiates throughout the establishment.
Welcoming orange hues partner with
sleek and commanding brown lines. The
design of the resturant is modern, and
the bar is jumping. Every design element
from the rounded ceiling, suspended lights,
mezzanine seating and patterned floor
are all as meticulously planned as the
menu. Prepare for a “five senses” dining
experience.
The culinary journey starts with flavorful
pumpkin soup. The rich, smooth texture of
the delightful puree blended with toasted
pumpkin seeds and cranberry-maple
crème fraîche inspires a perfect balance
of sweet and savory. The meal continues
with gala apple salad. The apples are
extremely fresh, their tart flavor flawlessly
complementing the walnuts, Maytag blue
cheese and pomegranates. This unique mix
of flavors, not normally associated with one
another, combine to create a world-class
dish. For the main course, the rib-eye steak
is sublime. The spice rub creates a brilliant
flavor, juicy and delicately cooked to
perfection. Even the Bar Americain steak
sauce is heavenly. The steak is coupled with
brussel sprouts, served with hazelnuts and
pomegranates. The explosion of flavor is
blissful. I order seconds, then thirds.
Many guests come to Bar Americain with
high expectations. After all, the restaurant
is owned by Bobby Flay, one of the worlds
most respected chefs. Judging by the
smiling faces of the surrounding men and
women, his superb reputation will only
continue to grow. Flay has done it again,
captivating the taste America loves and
presenting comfortable dishes in an assertive
manner. The portions are generous, and his
menu is a New York City hit. Prepare to be
impressed with the entire experience: regal
setting, gorgeous dining room, impeccable
service, solicitous waitstaff, faultless food
and wonderful ambiance. From the moment
you open the front door until the meal
concludes, even your wildest expectations
will be surpas
