Years ago, we went to David Burke’s Kitchen, Townhouse and Fishtail during restaurant week. Time has passed, Townhouse is now closed for renovation, and Fishtail is not participating, but some of the dishes are the same/ similar.
Out of all the David Burke’s restaurants in NYC, I like Townhouse the most. It was a really elegant establishment. Beautiful dinning room with high ceiling and big chandelier. Food is playful with touches of Asian flavors. And who can forget the cheesecake lollipops. Great service and comfortable atmosphere, it was high end cuisine designed to carter clientele with the same zip code but tagged with affordable numbers.
whipped black truffle, pistachio
tomato orange chutney, poppy seed honey
One of the David Burke’s signature dishes. Pretzel crab cake is served at all 3 establishments with very little tweak.
cauliflower, fennel-grapefruit salad, pine nut
Yes, it looks a little sad with only 3 tiny scallops, but they were really fresh and beautifully cooked.
spicy lamb sausage, coconut couscous, cilantro
Excellent broth, spicy lamb sausage was a natural seasoning for the mussels. Absolutely love the couscous.
CHEESECAKE LOLLIPOP TREE
bubblegum whipped cream, raspberries
And of course, the lollipop tree. This is perhaps the most photographed dessert. So popular that David Burke actually patterned it. It is a very playful and creative idea However, it was extremely sweet, and with the whipped cream, it was toxically sweet. For me, it was just an eye candy.
