T. Brasserie

My party sat down late afternoon after the St. Patrick's Day parade. 9 of us. Bill easily would have been $1500. We happened to be in kilts due to the days festivities. 30 seconds after we sat down we were told we wouldnt served alcohol due to a "few" that looked like they had too many drinks. Not one person was acting disorderly. I asked what prompted him to say that to us and for his manager. No manager to be found. We got up and left. The contempt and embarassment this place showed us needed to be highlighted.

Perfect food. Tasty wine. Accommodating staff.

Came in to try things out. Ordered the half chicken and it came with a side of Brussel sprouts. Also ordered a cucumber martini to accompany the meal. The chicken was juicy with a crisp exterior. Everything one could ask from the entrée. The Brussel sprouts were well charred and were cooked through, which is hard to do without burning it but they figured it out here. The cucumber martini was delicious but would not call it a martini. The drink has about the strength of a margarita because of the sweetness. Just a little more alcohol would have brought it up to expectations. Finished the evening with a single of basil haydens whiskey, which was priced at an excellent point of $17. Very reasonable for new york. The service was great to begin with but because it took me a few extra minutes to browse the menu it felt like the waiter forgot about me for the rest of the meal. Had to wait 20 minutes for water, twice. Plates were not cleared in a timely fashion but the staff was beyond polite. Hopefully with practice this will improve.
