Fish Tail the newest dining invention by David Burke specializes in a
seafood based menu that is guaranteed to satisfy all lovers of these
crustaceous creatures. My guest and I showed up at 7:30 and were
escorted to the best table in the house. the inviting decor with its
striking red walls and warm lighting just added to the ambience,
located on the second floor of this glamorous brownstone on the
Upper East Side. Nestled in by the huge window in the back end of the
dining room we were able to view all the action in this busy energy
infused restaurant.
The manager JC made sure that everything was picture perfect and we
were greeted by the Sommelier Manny Solano, Server Oscar Avendano
and our waiter Victor.
Trusting their skill and judgement after years in the restaurant
business they brought a selection of delicious creative dishes that
had both of us smiling happily and cheering them on as each dish
arrived.
The other diners seemed to be just as excited as the buzz traveled
throughout the restaurant.
We Started with the three story Shellfish Tower
that offered a generous selection of Lobster, Shrimp, Mussels, and
Oysters over ice. Manny suggested we try David's famous Pretzel
crusted crab cakes which he had Oscar our waiter present to us along
with the Fishtail Taco Sampler; three tacos Crab salad, Tuna Tartare,
and Salmon Tartare,
We also indulged in The Lobster and Avocado salad which also
included large juicy bits of Fresh Maine Lobster. And finally we moved
onto the entrees I ordered the 2 Pound roasted Lobster (I can never
get enough Lobster no matter how hard I try i just
seem to love this seafood treat more than any other) My guest
ordered the tender and tasty pan seared alaskan tbone Halibut with
sweet corn puree, sugar snap peas and basil. Sadly after all the
amazing starters we were unable to finish the large entrees, but not
to worry we had the rest of these dishes wrapped to go. In conclusion
after sending us both into a seafood dream our server pulled
another trick out of his hat and presented us with a Can O Cake' my
friend described this decadent Molten Chocolate Cake that was
served in a large silver cookie tin with caramel and crunchy toppings
home made Vanilla Ice Cream and whip cream on the side, as
scandalous!!
In Summary Fish Tail is a seafood paradise on the Upper East Side 135
East 62nd Street, between Park and Lexington Avenue New York, NY, 10065
212-754-1300. Business casual attire, affordable fine cuisine in a
beautiful spacious artistically inspired brownstone. The New York
Optimist Staff highly recommends this amazing seafood experience.
