On Wednesday night, Will and I met up with Coco and Sonia at Marlowe for a belated birthday dinner for Coco (which was the week before). It was super nice to catch up and check out this not-so-new place in the former South space.
Sonia had the baked oysters to start:
I had the classic steak tartare with quail egg and crostini (in truth, I really wanted to go to Marlowe because I read Michael Bauer's recent blogspot about the best steak tartare in the city, and it was pretty damn good):
Coco had the roasted bone marrow with salsa verde and fine herbs (holy decadent, Batman!):
Will had the spiced prawns with hot & boozy cocktail sauce (the sauce was zingy):
For dinner, I had the Blue Sole stuffed with blue crab, served with glazed celery root and baby fennel, meyer lemon and capers:
Sonia had the "Poulet vert" with warm broccolini and tempura squash blossoms:
Will had the signature Marlowe burger, with carmelized onions, cheddar, bacon, horseradish aioli and fries:
Coco had the grilled pork chop with crispy parmesan dumplings, apples and pickled mustard seeds. He also ordered the brown sugar brussel sprouts which were to...die...for...
I was out for the count for dessert, but Coco had the TCHO dark chocolate pot de creme with creme fraiche and maple pistachios:
Will had the Bourbon caramel and Bourbon ice cream combo sundae:
Marlowe was tasty and the company was fantastic. Happy belated birthday, Coco!
