Frisson Write-Up


Here is Phu's write-up from the June outing to Frisson:

DASF celebrated its 1-Yr anniversary in June by dining at the Chef’s Table at Frisson. Frisson is a chic and stylish restaurant (Interior Design Magazine profiles the restaurant) and definitely a place to see and be seen (although we had the privacy of the Chef’s table). New York chef Sarah Schafer's serves New American cuisine using the freshest local seasonal ingredients to deliver a nice combination of fresh flavors.

Ten people dined at Frisson and this was the first time DASF broke the $100 per person benchmark!

Frisson received the following ratings (on a scale of 1 - 100):

Food - 96 – Appetizers were the definitely the highlight! The tuna tartare appetizer with the cucumber-melon sorbet is one of the best matched appetizer we’ve tasted! The seared Fois Gras was luxurious without tasting fat or heavy and the brandied soft polenta was incredible.

Atmosphere – 95, a beautifully design restaurant. The restroom is hidden downstairs, very sexy and its co-ed (Jon Carter's favorite feature!). The Chef’s table is in a private room with its own music volume control.

Service – 92, the waiter and his support staff did a solid job overall. The Maitre’D made several appearances to ensure that we were well taken care of (this might be because he knew that we are a dining group).

For July, we are dinning at Kingfish!!
