Anyone have any recommendations for dinners at the Modern (dining room) off their prix fixe menu?

Thanks!

WAGYU BEEF AND FOIE GRAS “DAMIER”
Passion Fruit Gastrique

2

HAMACHI, SEA URCHIN AND FENNEL TART
Vegetable Vinaigrette

GRILLED SULLIVAN COUNTY FOIE GRAS
Pistachio “Praliné”, Summer Vegetable Brunoise and Duck Jus

3

CHORIZO-CRUSTED COD
White Coco Bean Purée and Harissa Oil

LONG ISLAND DUCK BREAST
Black Trumpet Marmalade, “Fleischschneke” and Banyuls Jus

SQUAB AND FOIE GRAS CROUSTILLANT
Caramelized Ginger Jus and Farm Vegetables
for two

4

CARAMEL PARFAIT
Mango Ravioli, Coconut-Lemongrass Tapioca and Ten Flavor Sorbet

MILK CHOCOLATE AND HAZELNUT DACQUOISE

The duck breast has a great tableside presentation, if you are into that sort of thing.

Quote from a recent post of mine:

The standout dishes were the Damier, the sturgeon and sauerkraut tart, hamachi and sea urchin tart, veal tenderloin, poussin breast and baba au rhum, but really every dish we had was excellent, and as always the presentation of each dish was stunning.

The Wagyu Beef and Foie Gras "Damier" is phenomenal, and the squab for two is not too shabby either.

The tartare is always top shelf, although I have had the mussels as well and they are excellent.
The risotto for course 2 is where it is at.
For course 3, the veal, while tasty, looked unappealing on the plate. The lamb was great, as is the chicken (i know!), and the lobster.
