Cityzen menu questions
My fiance and I are celebrating in style at Cityzen tomorrow night...and we're VERY excited about it!
However, we want to maximize our experience so I figure its best to ask those in the know.
We first thought about getting the 6 course tasting menu. However, after some thought, we are now considering getting the 3-course menu instead and each ordering separate items. Thus, we get to taste 6 items and not only is it less expensive, but we would get to choose what we wanted. Does this sound like a good idea? If so, what are some of the items that you recommend from the current 3 course menu?
Lastly, if we did each get the 3 course, would it be rude for us to ask them to bring out only one dish at a time? This way we would be able to put all of our focus on only one dish at a time, which I think we would both like.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts or advice you might have for us!

I don't know if this is too late for you. As my one meal at Cityzen was only ok, I suggest getting the three course. Don't they change the menu continually?

I was taken to Cityzen for a big, significant birthday this past August. I was a little worried that somehow it wouldn't meet the huge expectation I'd constructed in my mind from reading about the place for years...
We both ordered the tasting menu with wine pairings; mine regular, my wife the vegetarian.
I'm no food or drink snob. I've had $5 meals which are ranked in the very top of my memorable meals list and some of these were more memorable than dinner at Bouchon. I'm an equal opportunity foodie, I mean to say, and not one that that's easily sold on buzz or fashion. It's just got to be delicious.
Cityzen did not dissapoint. In fact, every aspect was as close to perfect as I can imagine a fine dining meal to be. The service, while flawless and polished is unfussy and not pretentious. The food is otherworldly. It just is. While the meal was hours long it didn't seem long. and I was a little sad when it was over. The wines, and suggested flight of beers with the cheese course, and birthday gratuity wines were all amazing.
I'd heartily recommend going for the full boat deal. Live a little. Life's potentially short.
And report back on how it was!
