Breathtaking Culinary Presentations by Eleven Madison Park
The way a chef arranges a meal on a plate, is for some, akin to an artist applying brush to canvas and Danny Meyer and Executive Chef Daniel Humm are truly culinary artists.  Daniel Humm won this year's James Beard Award for Best Chef New York City.  

Eleven_Madison_Park_2.jpgI marvel at the seductive creations of Chef Humm with such delight, anticipating each plate as it is placed before me. Words are not necessary to capture the essence of the dining experience at Eleven Madison Park, an excellent choice for a romantic meal for two, just take a look at the captivating images in this post.

In addition to (hopefully) enjoying each restaurant experience in NY and beyond, pay attention to the chef's creative techniques for "plating the dish". Learn from the masters and apply this inspiration to your next Seduction Meal. Not only is it fun, you'll be flattered and amazed by the responses and praise you will receive.

Eleven_Madison_Park_1.jpgHere are some restaurant reviews I found online that add to the reasons you should try Eleven Madison Park for your next Seduction Meal:

"Four Star Worth"

Memorable evening for sure. I have eaten at other four star restaurants before and there is no question EM is a part of the few elite restaurants. It was my girlfriend birthday and when we received the menu it had her name printed on it saying happy bday. Every morsel of food we ate was perfection from the amuse to dessert. We also had the sommelier pair wine with all of out courses and they were all spectacular wines to begin with which paired with our food perfectly. The server knew i was in the business so they also gave us a tour of the kitchen. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who knows and loves fine food.-- Posted by ChefMO on 02/16/2010 / MenuPages.com

"The Experience is all..."

This is the place to go for a great overall experience, on a special occasion. The food is always fresh and often local, and impeccably & creatively prepared -- specialties are seasonal and the wait staff are extremely well informed about what is good and what is not quite as astonishing. But there are many other places to go that are just as or nearly as good in this city, so the reason for going here is the whole experience, which includes the service and the ambiance, which help transform this into an amazing place for special occasions.  --Posted by LM on 03/23/2010 / MenuPages.com

"One of New York's  Finest"

I went here for my birthday dinner the other night and it exceeded my high expectations. The service was impeccable and the food was innovative and delicious. I got the three course prix fixe menu, which was just the right amount of food. I started off with the lobster and calamari gnocci and had the chicken as my entree. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was so moist it could be cut without a knife. I couldn't decide on one dessert, so I got two, both of which were extraordinary. The wait staff was extremely friendly and catered to our every needs. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a very special meal in one of New York's most most beautiful dining rooms. -- Posted by Fashionjem at CitySearch
