Manhattan restaurant

[EmpireState]

So now that I've finally gone to Pardes, is there a similar type of meat restaurant in Manhattan (as far as culinary creativity)? Do either Solo or Mike's Bistro fit the bill? I plan to go back to Pardes, but If I'm ever in Manhattan, I would like some options (I've been to all the steak places and while good, they are not what I'm looking for). Thanks.

pardes is certainly the most creative by far, but solo runs a close second in manhattan.

I am in complete agreement that Pardes has no parallel in Manhattan. For creativity, I might add Prime KO to the list.

I've been unimpressed with Prime KO - they didn't really give me what I ordered the first time (wagyu burger, though I don't even see that on their current menu) and I really didn't like the bowtie pasta I ordered the second time around.

Pardes and Prime KO don't compare in my opinion, even on creativity.

[Kosher Critic]

Just to clarify, I agree with you completely that Prime KO doesn't come close to Pardes; I just offered it based on what is available in Manh.

Oh, I totally understand. I don't know if I would put them on the same level though at all - maybe the menu sounds creative, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

Neither of the restaurants you've mentioned are nearly as creative as Pardes, but they're probably the closest you'll find in Manhattan. I've only been to Solo properly one time 3-4 years ago, but I remember it as having a few more adventurous options. Of course, it's obscenely expensive.

What Gila said. I don't think anything compares to Pardes, but I'd certainly like to see more of those around.
