An Unforgettable Brunch Experience at The Peninsula NYC
My experience at the Peninsula NYC was nothing short of extraordinary. Even a month after dining there, I find myself continuously reminiscing about the remarkable brunch I enjoyed. Allow me to share the highlights of this unparalleled culinary experience.
The Korean Fried Chicken was a delightful symphony of umami flavors, leaving a lasting impression on my palate. The Tuna Tataki was an exquisite dish—light, refreshing, and evocative of a perfect summer day.
However, the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the pastry selection. The croissant transported me to Paris with its perfect execution. The exterior was wonderfully crunchy, each layer was impeccably flaky, and the interior was soft and warm. It was truly a masterpiece. Chef Richard's Mandarin Petits Fours were equally impressive. The dessert, crafted to resemble an orange on the outside with a delicate cake hidden inside, was a revelation. It masterfully balanced flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, and umami, showcasing the chef's artistry and precision.
Another highlight was the raspberry chocolate with pop rocks, which added an element of fun to the meal. The delightful flavor, combined with the nostalgic sensation of the pop rocks, brought back fond childhood memories.
The service at the Peninsula NYC was impeccable, further enhancing the dining experience. Every staff member demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attentiveness, making us feel truly valued.
In conclusion, our brunch at the Peninsula NYC was an extraordinary experience that I highly recommend. It is a must-visit destination in New York City. My heartfelt thanks to Chef Richard and his exceptional team for an unforgettable meal. We look forward to returning many times...
Read moreI went to visit a friend staying at PENINSULA HOTEL who had also stayed at THE PENINSULA IN HONG KONG. They were very disappointed and when it comes to the palatial service you received at other Peninsulas… this is not in the running. Think HOLIDAY INN. BUT let’s focus on brunch. First let me say if you are a senior or disabled or had a few drinks-THE RESTROOM IS NOT ON THAT FLOOR. I REPEAT THE RESTROOMS ARE NOT ON THAT FLOOR. Plus the carpeted steps are a little hard to master. Food: oh well, so so food at a hotel- you can skip it. We were told everyone loves the Korean chicken. Nope! NYET. No. Go to BONCHON IF you want to find the real crispiness of Korean chicken and a true bbq taste. The burger is ok. They did serve a very good latte at the end. I asked for it extra hot and it was perfect since you know lattes can come out lukewarm if the milk isn’t at the right temperature. Would I go back no, no. Would my friends pick another hotel- yes. By the way they had fresh greens in vases spewing with Nandina which was a nice touch but the berries were not plentiful. Something of color was needed to give it some pizzazz. I LOVE THE PENINSULA IN HONG...
Read moreWe had dinner here tonight with my nephews and what and awesome experience. Started with bringing a small table over for my girlfriends handbag so it doesn't sit on the floor. Marco was our waiter and wow was he the most customer centric person I've had in my 30 years of eating fine food all over the world. Ya I just said that. We ordered the caviar which was divine and Marco brought over a complimentary sparkling rose that paired perfectly. The appetizers were as follows: lobster bisque was amazing, oysters with a touch of olive oil and spices (who knew) and octopus which were all so good we will judge every dish after this against these as the the best in show. Again Marco brought me a complimentary Sancerre that was awesome with the oysters. Then Marco gave us a great cabernet recommendation thats really economical (which I would not expect here) and paired great with dinner. The entrees arrived and we were further dazzled by the Dover Sole and cuddle fish dishes plus the dry aged steak which was a perfect medium rare and melted in your mouth. All in all a delightful experience and fantastic flavors with...
