It's Sid's B'day today and I decided to surprise him by taking him out for lunch to Eleven Madison Park. we have been wanting to go there for over a year and I finally managed to get reservations for lunch.
It's a 16 course culinary journey which lasts over 3 hours. We were blown away not only by their scrumptious food but also their excellent service and very creative presentations. The anticipation and surprise element made the dining experience very unique. We had no idea on the number of courses being served or the menu. We only shared our food preference and they did an excellent job at creating these delicious and beautiful dishes. After courses 12, I was ready to quit, I had had my fill . Luckily the last few courses were cheese and small deserts. Overall this was the BEST meal i have ever had. Chef Daniel Humm has a winner in Eleven Madison Park.
