closer to MR. mine is usually very rare.

I love the steak specials, I just wish 2Amy would cook it closer to medium rare.

My wife and I tired Rooster & Owl before The Post review came out. We really enjoyed most of the menu. We didn't love the steak but everything else was excellent. I was especially impressed with the drink menu and wine pairings. I imagine the prices will soon go up. Right now, I think it is one of the best bargains in fine dining.

In my experience, the renovations just moved the line back to the front door. I don't think it makes ordering easier but maybe I am just used to the old set up.

My and I took advantage of this wonderful offer last night and truly enjoyed the experience. For dinenr we went to Estadio, I need to digrees for a moment and mention that I didn't know brussel sprouts could be that good. Anyway, for dessert we thought it would be fun to try the CityZen dessert tasting menu that Matthew mentioned the other day. The four course dessert tasting menu (talk about a dream come true) started with a wonderful jelly sorbet topped peanuts -- each bite was an explosion of jelly flavor. This was followed by an apple experience, with apple sorbet, apple cake, dried apple. Any fears that this was going to be too much were quickly dispelled as everything completmented and built on each other. The third course, our favorite, was the peacon experience - just wonderful. The menu finished with a nice chocloate bread pudding and vanilla ice cream. We enjoyed how thoughtful and seasonal the desserts were. The staff, as always, was great and I can't end the post without mentioning how wonderful and friendly Sal at the bar was. We look forward to enjoying this again and highly recommend.

Hello all, This is my first post, so apologies in advance for any technical issues. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary last night in the main dining room and as alway it was fantastic. Just wanted to highlight a couple of things: if you like sardines, it is must . The beet ravioli was inspired, the combination of pasta, beet, salmon and roe -- just great. My wife had the chicken breast largely because she doesn't like to eat veal (even Palena's humanely raised veal) and doesn't eat fish. It was great, she said it was the best chicken she ever had, better than the cafe chicken. I wouldn't go far, but it was easily the best chicken breast I've ever had. Finally - the pear tart was just perfect. We love eating out and love trying new places, but we find that we are often disappointed. Palena never disappoints.
