L’adresse in Times Square
We discovered L’Adresse a while back and decided to go back for dinner on a Friday as we were looking for a place close to Bryant Park. I remembered that I had a good meal there and was curious to know if they were still good considering that they opened a second location in the City, a sign that I took as a success for their venture.
The place was not that crowded and I really appreciated the fact that, besides for a table for 10, it was quiet.
Food wise, they have an interesting menu that takes specialties from various countries and cannot be associated to just one. Here is what we had:
To start, we ordered drinks. Jodi got a strawberry lemonade, while I had a Sea Buckhorn whisky sour, made with bourbon, egg white and house made Sea Buckhorn syrup. Good, strong and refreshing.

For the appetizer, we decided to share the mezze that was a platter composed of beet hummus (I like beet but surely prefers the classic hummus made with chickpeas), tzatziki and spicy feta. It was served with a delicious grilled naan that was topped with za’atar, as well as Fire roasted tomatoes. It was overall delicious, the naan being the star of the show, but I found the quantities quite small for $25!

Continuing on the naan adventure, Jodi got a mushroom naan flatbread that was made with truffle mushroom pate, mushrooms and Asiago. It looked great and tasted delicious, topped generously with cheese.

On my side, I settled for the steak frites. Served with truffle fries that were slightly crispy but did not taste truffle at all, the cut was a NY strip that was unfortunately overcooked and that I sent back. The second time was better (I asked for medium rare and it was close), but the steak was not tender. It was juicy and for sure, they put a lot of butter (beurre Maître D) on top compared to the size of the meat!

Last was dessert: we got their chocolate envy. It was a chocolate and almond cake filled with layers of gianduja, caramel dark chocolate mousse and feuillantine of a little crunch. This cake was the star of the meal: very chocolatey with nice hints of hazelnut. I loved it.

So dessert was good, but overall the meal was a bit disappointing and pricey for what it was. Too bad.
Enjoy (…)!
