I have been to EMP and absolutely loved it, would like peoples impressions on going back to EMP vs trying one of these other restaurants. Thanks.

If you're looking for a different restaurant that will be similar to the high-end experience at EMP, you'll have to look into Le Bernardin, Per Se, Jean Georges, Daniel etc. Mon Nov 02 12:54:16 -0800 2009 5148767 204151 hcbk0702 2 5152648 Never been to Mas, but Apiary isn't in EMP's remote league. If you want something to your EMP experience then go for the recs above, I would also just add Marea to the list. Tue Nov 03 12:09:16 -0800 2009 5149826 80751 MinhLikesFood
