🍽️ Affordable Beef Wellington? Mission Accomplished! ✌️
Took my California foodie friend to The Clock Tower—a Michelin-starred gem tucked inside NYC’s luxe Edition Hotel—for a Beef Wellington deep dive. Here’s the full scoop (with receipts!): 🥩 The Star: Beef Wellington ($128 for two) • Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor—the mushroom duxelles and puff pastry were perfectly balanced. • Portion win! Half each was more than enough (though my light-eating friend tapped out early). • Bonus: Comes with silky mashed potatoes and buttery greens—no skimping here! 🥔✨ 🦪 The Letdown: Oysters • Too tiny! Six disappeared in three bites—not worth the $24 splurge. • Lacked brininess—felt like paying for shells. 🐟 The Backup Plan: Fish & Chips • Classic but forgettable—crispy batter, but the fish was just okay. • Lesson learned: Stick to the Wellington and don’t over-order! 🙈 💸 Final Verdict: ✅ Wellington = WORTH IT (for a special occasion). ❌ Skip the rest—Michelin-star prices don’t always mean Michelin-star magic. 📍 The Details: 📌 The Clock Tower | 5 Madison Ave, NYC 💵 $$$ (But that Wellington is a relative steal!) 🍷 Wine pairing? Their sommelier nails it—ask for bold reds! #NYCEats #BeefWellington #MichelinOrNot #EditionHotel #FineDining #SplurgeWorthy #DateNightSpot #NYCFoodie #RestaurantReview
