| Sablefish: Asparagus, Pumpkin Puree, Shimeji Mushrooms, Balsamic Onion Vinaigrette - 1 J's comment > fish was cooked perfectly, but the combination of the tomato and fish (a huge no-no) made the fish, well, fishy |

Promo dessert & chocolate - 2 Extra comments Service was good, but I got an overall feeling that everything was very generic and slapped together (ie. the menu was aimed to please a large crowd and therefore didn't please anyone in particular). Although the technique of each dish was spot on, the dishes lacked 'soul'. Especially having just tried Diva @ the Met yesterday, my experience at Yew dimmed even more than if my visit had stood on its own. Labels: downtown, hotel, howe, pacific northwest |
