Geisha Description:
Geisha is a nueveau cuisine Japanese restaurant with French influences. The restaurant has a very active bar scene, and stops taking reservations after 6:30 pm.
Geisha's upstairs dining room is a far more convivial place than the loud, crowded downstairs lounge, with a David Rockwell design that takes full advantage of what is a fairly narrow room that ends in a tall window overlooking East 61st Street. Kampachi (amberjack) sashimi and fluke nigiri-sushi is first-rate in texture and temperature, and a spicy tuna roll with cucumber, kaiware sprouts and scallions is a fine spark to the appetite, as is a caterpillar roll of freshwater eel, toasted sesame seeds and creamy avocado. Enjoy the grilled shrimp lollipop marinated in coriander, ginger and scallions and served on a sugar cane skewer. Black tiger shrimp dumplings sound fearsome but are delicate ravioli with shrimp and coriander stuffing with roasted pumpkin and a lovely, slightly spicy green curry broth. Western and Eastern fusion has striking results here, especially in the roasted lobster served with udon noodles, portobello mushrooms and asparagus. Almost as noteworthy is baked red snapper with spicy Korean broth and Chinese broccoli. Desserts at Geisha complement the entire menu, like a yuzu millefeuille with kumquat confit.
