Amber
1406 Third Avenue


My friend Evelyne who is an ex parte New Yorker now lives in Michigan and was in NYC for a visit and was staying on the UES.  The UES is foreign territory so I had to rely on Zagat’s for a choice. I had heard about the seafood restaurant ‘Flex Mussels’ but it was booked solid on this Friday evening before New Year’s Eve. We certainly had done the French/Italian route in the last few days so I selected a Pan/Asian restaurant that turned out to be part of a chain.  The ambience looked remarkably like several other Asian restaurants in NYC.  The food presentation and service were above average, but the food quality was mediocre.  If someone out there wants to treat me to a dinner at Sasabune, I am available at a moment’s notice, but in the meantime,  I guess the reality is that at price points that I consider, sushi is usually sushi.  No huge swings in quality either way.
