If You're a Lobster Lover - All Points Lead to Compass

Hello Foodies,

We wanted to recommend a restaurant that we were taken to over the weekend by TDF alum Frances Cassidy and Karin Lundell.

Whether you're coming from the north, south, east or west, you'll find your way to Compass. It's lobster festival there so if you love lobster and even if you don't, there are plenty of choices to keep one happy.

We all enjoyed the "Tamarind Lobster Salad" to start. It was an artful mix of lobster, grapefruit, bibb lettuce with a spicy Thai chili vinaigrette. I had crispy skate wing that was sublime. Our TDF alum enjoyed the organic chicken, and a "Roasted Porcini Mushrooms with Poached Hen Egg" and that entree included prepared brussel sprouts, cardoons with a black trumpet truffle puree. Rich and delicious. The award-winning wine list is extraordinary with selections to meet most wallets.

They even sent us home with muffins for brekky the next day. Nice touch (although the muffins were dry).

It's a great restaurant choice in the Lincoln Center area and northern theater district as well.

Here's the address: 208 WEST 70TH STREET, NEW YORK, NY 10023 | 212.875.8600

We're not sure how long the lobster fest goes on for but try not to miss it. Lots of happy forks in that restaurant.

Enjoy,

the Forks
