Every time I go to Manhattan (1-3 x a year) I always try to dine in one nice restaurant, which I have not tried before. On my recent trip (May 2008) I had the pleasure of eating here at Esca. This is now my favorite NYC restaurant and I will be glowingly recommending it to my friends. I had a halibut carpaccio that was like wafer thin slabs of butter. A linguine with clams and octopus that was to die for. And a fresh bluepoint oysters from new foundland that were the sweetest I've ever had. The service is great (although our waitress was a "low talker" and hard to understand even though the restaurant itself was not particularly loud). To top off the evening we even enjoyed a star sighting -- Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins enjoyed a quiet meal just across the way from us. Truly a great NY dining experience!
