A friend and I came for brunch prior to a performance at the Metropolitan opera of La Donna Del Lago. In order to dine at the Grand Tier, you must have tickets to a Lincoln Center Performance. The Grand Tier is so pretty. Magnificent Crystal Chandeliers hang from the ceilings. The place wasn't as crowded as it normally is for brunch. Probably due to the holidays. I started out with a yummy Lulu cocktail. It had Citrus Juice and Prosecco :). Our appetizers consisted of Charred Octopus and Salad. I had the octopus which was very good. My friend said the salad was excellent. We both ordered the Soft Scrambled eggs and Perigord truffles, It included a Toasted Baguette, House Smoked Salmon, Melted Leeks and Shaved Black Winter Truffle. It was delicious, but had too many leeks for me. I asked our server if I could have the Brioche French Toast instead. Our server Raul very graciously took the Scrambled eggs back. The French Brioche Toast arrived shortly afterwards. It was the BEST French toast I've even eaten! It included Roasted Honeycrisp Apples, Whipped Mascarpone and Walnuts! My friend just had coffee for dessert. The coffee came in a lovely French Press. He loves their coffee! No dessert for me. Watching those holiday calories :). I must say our server Raul was an absolute delight. Would definitely request him again. This place is definitely for someone who has deep pockets or somone who wants to live it up once in a while. I give the brunch my Fab 5 Star Rating!!!
This place is truly amazing. Is located in the second floor of the Metropolitan Opera in NYC. And you have about 35 minutes to enjoy you dinner or small plates.
I had smoked salmon with salmon caviar, a cheese plate and a soirbet to finish it all. The salmon was served with creme fresh and a little bit of micro greens and croutons with extra virgin olive oil, bread on the side with unsalted butter also on the side to accompany the salmon. It was quite delicious! The cheese plate was in the same category of flawless. Rich assortment of cheese with a variety of crackers, some good quality red wine to gel wash it down and soirbet of mixed berries, pear and peach to end my Turandot intermission. And of course fresh brewed coffee on a French press 😉
The service here is a smooth well oiled military precision machine that lives nothing to be desired!
When you come to the Met, give it a try! You will love it!!
