New York Area Restaurants

One of the Atera’s team members described Chef Ronny Emborg as a mad genius and being wowed by him over 17 courses, I have to agree. The Danish born Emborg has managed to put together a tasting menu that never repeats itself and has no single style. It is indescribably delicious and surprising and presented in an unique manner. The restaurant is small with no more than 18 seats per serving. Mostly everyone sits at a bar that surrounds the kitchen where all the food is prepared for serving. The cooking team is relatively small and supervised directly by Emborg, who provides a quiet, dignified yet exacting presence. There is no where to hide, no way that a service flaw will go unnoticed and that adds up to a perfect meal, or as close to it as you can get. The food is among the best we have ever eaten. It is right there with Chicago’s Alinea and Joel Robuchon’s Mansion in Las Vegas. Who would combine Kaluga Caviar with pistachio sorbet and beer cream or place foie gras and quince on a waffle. Every inspired combination worked perfectly. This is 3 Michelin Star food at every turn, paired exquisitely with wine by the glass or a pairing, however you choose. There is no one style, with courses borrowing from across the world. Even the desserts pleasantly surprise with the sweet tones augmented by herbaceous elements. The meal is expensive, even by NYC standards, but worth every dollar. When you have an opportunity to experience the absolute best, you go for it. Give this restaurant their third Michelin Star!

The service was amazing, our server was Matt, he was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had. I had the tuna tacos which were amazing. 3 of my family members had the salmon and they are still talking about it. I highly recommend this place! More
