Well, C's 30th birthday is rapidly approaching, and I have to decide on the meal plans.
This is a no-holds-barred dinner. I'm looking for a spectacular chef's tasting menu and wine pairing (though I need a good wine list, too... I'm not sure which direction I will want to go). A great cheese cart is not compulsory, though perfect desserts are, as is a spot-on espresso after dinner.
Currently on the list:
Campton Place (based in part on Pim's review)
The Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton (fantastic review by Philly Mike on Craigslist FoodFo)
Gary Danko (he's never been, but it doesn't seem "special" enough to me)
Fifth Floor
Masa's (I haven't found a review since Siegel left)
Any votes or recommendations will be gratefully accepted!
