    When I’m fortunate enough to find myself in NYC on business I make time to visit the Met museum; this is the second time I’ve had lunch solos in the Met dining room, and it is cemented as a tradition I’ll continue. The staff are second to none: I was welcomed warmly and treated with friendly, knowledgeable and prompt service throughout the meal. The menu changes on occasion and I love to see what has inspired the chef; today I enjoyed a delicious Bibb Lettuce & Chicory Salad with mashed avocado, radish and a delightful , sherry vinaigrette. The salad was beautiful, and perfectly dressed and seasoned. I also chose a “raw” dish: the yellowfin tuna in ponzu sauce, which was a feast for the eyes. Service was impeccable; my waiter Michael was helpful in choosing dishes I would enjoy & he and the team gracefully set and reset my table between courses, while filling my water and ensuring I could simply relax & enjoy the beautiful view of the park. Thank you for a truly delicious meal in an incredible setting with a a wonderful buzz of energy from fellow museum lovers. I look forward to joining you again when I’m next in town!
