Stunning meal here tonight. Wine list is very cool - you can order any bottle as a 1/2 bottle. The staff is beyond nice and attentive. Playlist is 90s and 2000s hip hop/rap. But the real star is the food. Robert Bohr was extremely welcoming, the somm was psyched about what we ordered and Chef came out to say hello.

my meal on 6/11 was just meh.
Had the suckling pig and it was reheated and dry with very little crackling, none of it attached to the pig meat.
We were 5 people and brought 5 bottles corkage was $35.00 per bottle. Robert tasted all bottles and poured a damaged bottle 85 Cerreto Bricco. it was undrinkable and we paid corkage on that too.
loved the Zalto stems and decanters but not enough to go back.

Sorry to hear that. I really was not that excited to go here, I just happened to end up two blocks away and was really hungry. I call it like I see it, it was a very good meal.
We did not have any meat dishes. Only fish and vegetables and everything was incredibly fresh and very tasty. Antonio Gallanio had a similar experience (but of course he is friends with Robert).
We also had an extremely good meal at Estela the new Thomas Carter and Ignacio Matto (formerly at Isa) restaurant which is on East Houston. We drank a 2001 Overnoy Savagnin from the list.
Interestingly,there are three wine driven, small plate type restaurants (Pearl & Ash, Charlie Bird & Estela) all within minutes of each other that were started through a Sommelier/Chef partnership/collaboration.
I guess I will be going to Brooklyn less...

Wow, paying a $35 corkage on an undrinkable bottle? Never heard of that... Don't care how good the food is, that would be the last time.
What happened to the original quote < We want people to feel like we are actually happy that they are there spending money at our place, and the more we can demonstrate that through our actions the more people will sense that we are sincere. > Sincerely sticking it to people...

Doesn't the venue do as much work with a customer's bottle whether it is received as damaged or otherwise?
It's not the venue's fault the bottle was already damaged.

A competent sommelier should know if a wine is damaged and, if it is, shouldn't serve it.

You mean pulling the cork and seeing that it's bad? Doesn't seem like much work to me and a schmuck move like this causes a tremendous amount of ill feelings like this. Was that $35 corkage to cover a few seconds to pull a cork worth the negative exposure here?
