Did you provide feedback?

yes. i told the waiter this isn't what i expected but i still paid for it because it tasted fine. just not the standard i was hoping for (and willing to spend $18 on)

Waiter doesn't care. Give feedback to management.

Perhaps it's in the above 256 pages somewhere, but does anyone have experience with this new place called UN Plaza Grill?

We went in Nov. Food was WAY too salty. Only thing worth getting was the sushi (which was excellent). But if you're going to a meat restaurant for the sushi, well there's a few issues with that which I won't get into now. But Reserve's sushi is so much better than any other sushi I've ever had.

I would give this place another shot though. Maybe in a few months.

Never been to the first two
We went to 26 also in Nov. The sushi there was really really good, but it wasn't reserve. I might even place 26 as my #2 come to think of it...

nah, RC's tuna tartare is the best, but their actual rolls arent better than 26 as i remember it.

BTW, if u get Elal Matmid emails, the one this morning (1/4/18) gives u 20% off at abigaels through Jan 31 which is pretty decent off the top.

"Now - January 31 receive a 20% discount at Abigael's when presenting this newsletter or a current EL AL ticket."

From what I understand they won some sort of contest where these guys went around testing all NYC kosher establishments to see which scored the highest in a bunch of different categories.
Never heard of this show though. I think its on PBS

I guess contest wasn't the right word. But the way they chose the restaurant to be filmed was by going around and scoring all of them.
But the actual filming is pretty poor IMHO.
seems almost like a camp video.

You don’t know what they were scoring? Was it space? (Mr b is huge) is it price point?
