Bond St

BONDST
6 Bond Street
New York, NY 10012

The food here at Bond St is outstanding. All the dishes we had were masterfully created and wonderfully executed. What makes this dining establish truly exceptional are the sauces. The chef ingeniously blends the flavors and perfectly compliments the sauce/coulis/puree/dressing to the main item. The result is not an over powering flavor, but rather a taste that is a perfect balance and harmony in one's mouth.

I did the tasting plate and there were perfect bite sized options that were little bundles of joy in my mouth--each different and truly a unique experience in itself. The chilean see bass was amazingly complimented with a sake infused sauce that was mind blowing. What was truly marvelous was the ginger salad. Now, if you've been to ay sushi restaurant, you've had the ginger salad with dressing that is a pale yellow and slightly pasty. The flavor is either too bland or too much. But the ginger salad at BondSt blew my mind! Do not expect your run-of-the-mill, in the bottle experience here. The flavors from the ginger salad were deep and plentiful- yet not overpowering. I am merely mentioning the salad, not because it was the best dish I had (I had too many "best" choices to choose from!), but becuase it is the only tangible way I know to reach across to a wide audience about how truly exceptional this dining experience was.

Go to Bond St. Don't get the normal, plain rolls. Venture out. You won't be dissapointed.
