"Entering the dimly lit boîte, New York’s 53, a spot I've been meaning to check out. The name of the restaurant hails from its location, 53 West 53rd Street, which also happens to be the address of one of Manhattan’s premiere residences. Inside the two-floor restaurant, the diners upstairs were slick, elegant, and oozing romance. The menu featured dishes like Yellowtail with ikura, citrus, and sorrel, and the diver scallop in XO sauce. Moving onto heartier fare like Lobster rice in a lotus leaf served with ikura, and halibut with mushroom broth and ginger. For dessert, Napoleon filled with a mousse flavored with gula melaka and served with brûléed banana." - MICHELIN Guide
