During the holidays, I finally went to Atera. it was all in all an absolutely great meal at this two star Michelin restaurant. What did i love: the setting and the beautiful kitchen. The presentation of the food was divine and also our waiter was very helpful and amusing. he was so nice he even got us the card of the maker of the dishware which we were commenting so highly on. the only thing I did not like: the snobbery of the host staff. Within the snobbery, the tea sommelier was a little too full of himself. I definitely recommend it if you get the chance, its not my favorite tasting menu in the city (that prize still lies at the hands of Brooklyn Fare) but this is an excellent and creative dinning night out. This is the pictorial evidence of the 20 courses we had that day (with some comments of my favorites!)
King Crab
Caviar – this mix of caviar with chocolate and tapenade was interesting and tasty
Black bass- daikon, mushroom
Fall Salad – yellow vegetables
sea urchin – carrot, lobster – the carrot gave a perfect balance to the uni, making it smooth and easier to bite
Shabu Shabu – abalone
Trout Roe – squash, pumpkin seed
Smoked trout
trout Liver
Lobster Roll – yeast meringue – this was the best meal of the night – a lobster roll made of meringue that melts in your mouth.
Geoduck
pig Blood Tart
Hushpuppy
Beet Jerky
Smoked Mussels
Dumpling
Guinea Hen
Sherbet
Milk and Crackers
Almond -grapes – totally refreshing dessert
