Eleven Madison Park

Honestly, I've been to this restaurant once before, about 3-4 years ago, for my husband's company Christmas party.
I remember enjoying the meat that was served back then.
So, unaware that the restaurant had become vegetarian, I made a reservation and went again two years ago.
I probably wouldn't have gone if I had known it was vegetarian.
Anyway, it was still a pleasant experience.
Normally, I hardly eat if there's no meat or fish protein, but I seriously considered trying vegetarianism after dining at this restaurant. I still can't forget the clean and pure taste of the food and its heavenly aroma.
The most delicious part was the appetizer bread and the butter, it was so amazingly tasty.
However, I remember the portions not being a lot.
We had beverage pairings, and even after finishing them all, I didn't feel full.
I'm not sure if the portions were small, if I was missing meats, or if the food was just too delicious and I wanted to keep eating. After the meal, we got granola from there, which was so delicious that I've been making my own granola since then and eating it every morning. There's no doubt that it's a place influenced my life.

I came to Eleven Madison before they went vegan, but it was not too impressive.
Don’t get me wrong, it was good but did not stand out among other fine dining restaurants to me.
I was surprised they went vegan and still got Michelin stars, so I decided to come again.
Wow, what a huge difference! And it was actually very good! All the dishes are very flavorful and fresh.
I can see they are Asian-inspired, but not on the oily or spicy side, more on the clean and comforting side.
But to be honest, there was about 20 minutes wait without any food on the table between dishes, and it was kind of awkward and weird because I could tell the waiters were trying to avoid our eyes.
Overall, it was a very good meal.
I will definitely come back again.

A surprise birthday dinner at 11 Madison Park. And … yes for all those who are vegan, vegetarian and those who are open minded about culinary inventions, do go to this place at least once! What an experience, from the minute you sit down from the bar to the dining table, the service is impeccable, the atmosphere is one of excitement, relaxed and fun at the same time.
The wine pairing is amazing.
I had the best wines with our meal.The food is simply mind blowing; delicate,decadent, beautifully prepared and presented.
You just keep eating and drinking non stop, the dishes just keep coming.
Highly highly recommended!!
