In reply to Jackie Smith. I can't even read my own reviews when I'm doing the cooking!

Note to self: Do not read one of Irene’s restaurant reviews when you should be in the kitchen starting dinner. As it is, that chicken breast I am fixing no longer calls out to me but my mouth is watering and stomach is growling! (Loved the photo of the taxis).

You know this is right up my alley! We will definitely make a reservation next time we are in the city. Amazing!

Your photos were fabulous, particularly the dessert! The presentation of all the dishes were beautiful as was the view. Makes you forget the price of the meal! Sometimes it’s even more enjoyable having lunch rather than dinner as you can see the city from such a great vantage point.

OMG not only is the view stunning but the food looks so creative and I’m sure delicious. The food pics almost made me drool on my laptop Irene!

In reply to Carole Terwilliger Meyers. Fourth of July must have been great from that suite! I used to love when the NYC fireworks were on the West side.

Always glad to learn about another great restaurant in New York. We’ll have to give it a try next time we feel like something special in the city.

What a fabulous luncheon! And for me, so near yet so far. I was just recently in the same building having breakfast at Bouchon, with a much-closer-to-the-ground view of the taxis in the circle. But once, a few years back, I did enjoy viewing the 4th of July fireworks from a suite up at the top of the Mandarin. Fabulous hotel, fabulous location, and also, I see, fabulous food.

In reply to Sand In My Suitcase. It was health, low-caloric and delicious!

Love the hot pink color accents here! But it sounds like the real reason to lunch here is the food – the salmon dish looks very tempting (and healthy too).

In reply to Mark Spivak. You've given us so many excellent dining suggestions around the world that I'm glad I could reciprocate! :-)
