After sensational meals at Boulud, Spice Market and Le Bernadin, I was intrigued to try Basso56 on the basis of the online hype. I don't believe the clientele for Basso56 is the same as for, say, Le Bernadin; in the case of the latter, expectations are set that much higher, which goes some way towards explaining Basso56's position, because doubtless,...

this place is really not deserving of the good rating it has on TripAdvisor. I had veal Marsala, my friend had a seafood risotto. We both said that it was okay, but we could cook better. I cook a lot and for me, going out to eat, I expect to have food that is better than what I can cook....

We got a table on very short notice. The waiter was attentive, smiling and very helpful. The food was excellent. The 4 of us agreed that this was a place we will visit again.
