Restaurant Week favorites: Aozora, Gencarelli, Table 8
Appetizer: Aozora's triple sample- wonderful variety, flavor and
presentation
Entree; Chicken Giambota at Gencarelli's -the smell alone had me salivating
before I ever used the fork
Dessert: Home made ice cream at Table 8 - as good vanilla and peanut butter
as I've ever tasted any where
Bargain of the week: Aozora - incredible meal for $31.

Restaurant Week favorite: Halcyon
Halcyon was the last of four restaurants we tried. They stated that each
restaurant could do this the way they wanted, so they were offering $31
dinner only Tu - Th - and were surprised when we mentioned what a faux pas
that was on their part since it was not mentioned anywhere in the promo for
Restaurant Week. Their listing says Tues - Sat - that must mean hours of
operation, not the days the specials are being offered.

Restaurant Week favorites: Blu and Sakura Japanese
Comments: Blu had the best Veal Shank I've ever had! The presentation was
beautiful - the portion was perfect since it is such a rich dish. But I also
have to give kudos to Sakura Japanese Restaurant. Their RW menu was
wonderful - especially the the Lobster bisque soup, the Salmon tartar. Again
presentation was beautiful along with the wonderful service!

Restaurant Week favorites: Aozora, Gencarelli, Table 8/Halcyon
Comments: I chose a few new restaurants to sample:
Table 8 was so delicious, that we went 'twice'! Not only was the service
outstanding, but the value/quality of the restaurant week $31 meal was more than
expected. Even though my aunt ordered off of the regular menu, she ate most of
my panna cotta-(which was to die for!) Charming owner Demetri came by the table,
made my Aunt Gerry feel like a queen and that's the icing on the cake for me!
Loved the lighting, one always looks flawless in those lights.
Halcyon: My 1st time at Halcyon for a meal, and I wasn't disappointed. I was
already to eat some of their fabulous seafood, but weakened for an old favorite:
Prime Rib. (OMG!) It was mouth-watering and as good as any NY restaurant plus
the accompaniment of potatoes that I asked to be replaced by the vegetable du
jour, was perhaps the best potato side dish ever! Don't ask me the name, I just
know it had cheese-(neither duchess nor hash browns), just unbelievably
wonderful. After tasting them, I decided to throw 'caution to the wind' and just
'enjoy the calories'! Sharon came over to the table, and as always 'makes us
feel at home'. I was laughing so hard with my friend, that I never noticed the
din? How refreshing to have a waiter who was both smart and professional, a rare
find at times....! (Mart P)
My experience was so pleasurable that I can't wait to dine at either restaurant
soooooon. Even without a special date for Valentine's Day, I would be open to
dine out and celebrate my single life on Valentine's Day or, any day!
I love to eat & look forward to next year's kickoff 'Restaurant Week's' party
too.

Amazing food and very good service. This restaurant compares very

Restaurant Week favorites: Next Door
We asked for a dessert that was off of the $21 menu--poached pear w/gorgonzola.
It was delicious! The gorgonzola wasn't just the regular bits thrown on top of
the pears at other restaurants, but was more of a small flan accompaniment.
Moreover, because our change in request was only slightly different from the $21
menu--cheese instead of ice cream--we were only charged an additional $3. Great
value for such a delicious dessert.
