In the last few months I've learned COVID might be the best diet time ever so those who follow will have noticed the number of notes has dropped precipitously. That being said, it's also been a time when we worried about favorite spots and there's nowhere I like more in NYC than Atera. So we decided it was worth the 4 mile walk to enjoy their first wine dinner since the pandemic outside. And we were right.
Oyster | Jalapeno, Cucumber
Profiterole | Foie Gras, Truffle
Waffle | Tuna, Potato
Scallop | Apple, Sunchoke, Dill
** a real stand-out for me, despite the diet and not finishing any of the other courses I finished this one.
Salmon | Trout Roe, Spinach
Raviolo | Potato, Parmesan Truffle
Beef Ribeye | Broccolini, Beech Mushroom (avoided)
Panna Cotta | Strawberry, Balsalmic
Milk Chocolate | Miso
As always, this was a completely top notch meal and reminded me how much better restaurant food can be when it's served there. The scallop dish esp stood out to me with the horseradish in the sauce, but honestly everything was fabulous.
NV Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Le Rosé
France, Champagne
Always really like this producer and this is a nicely done rose. There's something a bit more herbal to it in addition to the red fruits. Very interesting and a but multidimensional which I appreciate. Miss when you could buy it for $45, but I suppose good wine has to go up in price. Great way to start the meal. Hard to stay to only one glass (stupid diet).
