Gilt Description:
A feast for the eyes as much as the palate, Gilt is set in the nineteenth-century Villard Mansion (attached to the New York Palace hotel). It oozes the decadence of a bygone era with a shot of contemporary flair. In the bar room, ornate neo-classical walls are bathed in purple hues, lit from behind the banquettes. In the dark paneled Hunt Room, diners can choose between a three-course, five-course and grand seven-course meal, each stage fully explained by the attentive waitstaff. The menu, overseen by the talented Justin Bogle, boasts seasonal ingredients and changes accordingly. Dishes are small but pack a powerful punch: foie gras torchon nicely paired with a pineapple sorbet and toasted coconut; ultra tender Long Island duck wades in a shallow pool of inventive kimchi broth; and juicy chunks of lamb encrusted with pistachio (to give it a nice texture, not to mention an added layer of flavor) are a few examples of what a diner might find here. Each dish is expertly paired with wine by the friendly wine director Patrick Cappiello.
