Ten Pound

Wow....just wow....

I had planned to take the BF here for his birthday in the distant future, but after finding ourselves at Scarpetta (for another best-ever meal), I asked our lovely server if he could get us a reservation for drinks. I don't drink Scotch, but BF is a big fan, so I knew this was a very special treat.

It is positively incredible! And insanely expensive. If you've got that kind of money, good for you! You won't bat an eye, but for the rest of us, spending almost $200 for 3 drinks is a bit much. That said, I still stand by my motto that you can't eat/drink the money.

The service here is top notch. They came to the restaurant to escort us upstairs where it feels oh, so exclusive. We had a prime sit looking over the beautiful courtyard on a gorgeous evening. So it's strictly alcohol on the menu and thankfully they also had wine and not just Scotch for me. A $55 glass of the best white burgundy I've ever had found its way in my hand. I really enjoyed that glass of wine in quite possibly the most beautiful stemwear I've ever drank out of. BF was over the moon with various McClellan and Highland Park Scotch.

The presentation of how wheel up this fabulous cart with all this stuff, including bacon strips, aged cheddar and candied pecans - it all works well with the Scotch - is just so stylish!  Ken was our server and on top of being super attentive, he was just a really cool guy. I didn't get a pretentious air about anything here. I think the only regret was that BF didn't have once of his Cubans to enjoy. Maybe I'll start saving now for 3 more drinks later this year for his b-day.

If you drink Scotch and have the means, you don't want to miss this place.

Lets just say this place was amazing. Had dinner nearby and my date and I decided to try this place for an after dinner sip. They require a reservation and I knew that but we wanted to give it a shot anyway. We finally found the discreet door and knocked on it. The guy running the place opened the door and we had a very nice exchange. He told us it was reservation only and I apologized that we didn't have one but after a brief conversation, and the fact that we were nice, well dressed and my date was a real beauty he let us come in and gave us a table. Also it was a Wednesday night so that probably wouldn't have worked on a weekend night.

The place has an air of exclusivity which it should considering the location and drink selection.  Don't come here if you are on a budget. That being said, the service was fantastic, he educated us about the bar, about the drinks about the preparation and really made it a great experience for us.  We each had a delicious scotch and it was about $170 I think. Very worth it considering how amazing the scotch and the experience was.

MAKE a reservation and prepare to enjoy the finest scotch in the world in probably the best scotch club in the country.

Cheers!

Fun place to gather your buddies.  Excellent drink and great cigars.  If a concert is in the yard it makes a great summer evening
