In my past few trips, I've had memorable dinners at Salt House, Wayfare Tavern, and Benu. This time around I let my friends choose the restaurant. They chose their go-to spot in the city for a celebration meal. 25Lusk, a neighborhood city restaurant and lounge that has a weekly tasting menu with a rustic, urban vibe. That sounded perfect for a dinner with friends.
I love the interior of the lounge and the restaurant. The lounge on the first floor is a great place for friends and for couples for get pre- or post-dinner drinks. The cocktail menu has a lot of original concoctions that are worth tasting. The restaurant is spacious, yet still has a cozy neighborhood feel with the darker lighting, brick walls, and wood finishes.
The meal itself was just as enjoyable as the surroundings. While a couple of the dishes stood out more than others, the whole tasting menu was well-thought out. I like that the chef changes the menu every week to encourage repeat customers to try more dishes. There's also an a la carte menu if you don't want to eat or spend as much. Compared to other tasting menus in the city, though, $78 for 5 courses (starter, fish course, meat course, cheese plate, and dessert) is not too bad at all.
