GOODNESS
GRACIOUS
ME!!!
BRAVO!!!
Where
to
begin?
From
the
intimacy
of
every
table
and
booth
with
classic
Gotham-styled
haute
culinary
decor,
still
contemporary,
modern
&
fresh.
Perfectly
complimenting
and
accentuating
jazzy-lounge
music
overhead
to
enhance
your
dining
experience
at
a
properly
soft
volume...
The
wait
staff,
charming,
informative,
and
excellently
attentive
to
serve
and
provide
to
keep
you
focused
on
your
meal
and
company.
And,
while
all
this
may
elevate
the
dining
experience,
in
the
end,
of
course,
it's
all
about
the
food...
and
now
we
catapult
to
light
speed!
PERFECTION.
Plain
and
simply.
•
The
Organic
Seasonal
Greens
with
Fresh
Cherry
Tomatoes
-
is
enlivened
with
mouth-watering
vinaigrette
to
get
your
juices
flowing.
•
The
French
Onion
Soup
-
is
exceptional.
Served
properly
piping
hot.
Effervescent,
which
only
enhances
every
tastebud
baptized
in
deliciousness,
and,
still,
landing
lightly
before
the
entree
arrives.
•
The
Filet
Mignon
-
melts
in
your
mouth,
full
in
flavour,
prepared
absolutely
flawlessly!
No
garnish
at
all
is
needed
-
not
a
single
grain
of
salt
or
dust
of
peppercorn
-
nothing,
whatsoever
...and
yet
it's
served
with
a
housemade
signature
stake
sauce
alongside.
It's
a
steakhouse,
so,
okay...
while
I
favour
dijon
mustard
typically
-
IF
I
even
choose
to
apply
any
garnish
on
a
steak
of
this
caliber
...but,
you
know
what?
-The
Royal
35
knows
how
to
prepare
a
deliciously
perfectly
complimenting
steak
sauce,
too.
Wow!
...though
I
only
gave
one
flavour
sampling
of
it,
it
was
divine.
•
The
Pappardelle
Pasta
Bolognese
-
propelled
me
to
my
childhood,
at
my
Florentine
grandmother's
table
(rest
her
soul),
in
her
then
home
in
Nice,
loaded
with
all
the
tenderness,
love,
and
devotion
the
quality
ingredients
of
herbs,
tomatoes,
and
meats;
the
know-how
to
create
such
handmade
pasta
to
an
adoring
grandchild
who
could
never
get
enough
of
any
of
her
provincial
cooking.
Exquisite.
•
The
Cappuccino
-
is
worth
coming
to
this
restaurant
to
enjoy
an
extraordinary
coffee
experience
alone.
The
frothed
milk
is
a
dessert
in
itself.
•
The
New
York
Cheesecake
-
is
an
absolute
marvel!
The
hands
down,
most
genuine
example
of
any
Cheesecake
touting
"New
York"
to
it.
Here
is
where
Gotham
authenticity
continues
to
live
on
in
tradition.
(Without
exaggeration:
for
all
the
hype
around
"Junior's"
it's
all
been
lost
in
the
tourist-trap
commercialization.
They
have
NOTHING
even
remotely
close
to
what
is
served
at
the
Royal
35)
•
Raspberry
&
Lemon
Sorbets
(not
pictured,
sorry)
-
consistent
with
everything
else,
effervescent,
light,
subtle,
not
at
all
overdone
in
any
way,
also
made
in-house,
like
everything
else.
Typically
a
bigger
fan
of
Raspberry,
the
Lemon
stole
my
heart.
•
My
well-used
water
glass
never
saw
its
bottom.
•
The
dry-age
meat
spectator
glass
fridge
in
the
back,
to
see
what's
coming
and
how
well
things
are
attended
to,
is
a
nice
touch.
•
The
decor
and
ambiance
is
a
well
curated,
muted,
sexy,
and
intimate
classic
style.
I
would
hope
anyone
else's
experience
to
be
as
wonderful
as
mine.
Highly
recommended!
Enjoy.
