I stumbled upon
Ed's Chowder House at the Empire hotel in my quest for a pre-theater snack before seeing
War Horse at Lincoln center. And by snack I mean pisco sour and full-on meal. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, but as the description I linked to above mentions, it does not match a typical chowder house conception. It's far too elegant. Taken in another setting, however, the decor is breathtaking.
The meal started off well with a twist on a pisco sour and a too-die-for bread basket. For those of you who know me, if I could order bread for dinner, I'd probably do so. Biscuits and cornbread equals heaven. We followed that with a nice salmon cooked rare on top of a ratatouille, a tuna tartare with crispy wontons, and a side of asparagus. All quite tasty and an overall perfect meal before catching a show. FYI there is also a $39 pre-fix for theater goers, but we opted for ala carte.
