Earlier this week I tried Alobar Downtown for the first time, for a work thing. It was certainly much better than my ill-fated visit to their Yorkville outpost last year.

We shared:

• Torched hamachi w/ asian pear, miso, ginger
• Nova Scotia lobster & Hokkaido sea scallop w/ tomatillo, coriander, finger lime
• Fried calamari w/ zucchini, broccolini, lemon
• 24oz bone-in prime ribeye
• Broccolini
• Glasses of wine
  • Domaine Emmanuel Fellot, Chardonnay 2023, Burgundy
  • Netzl, Grüner Veltliner 2023, Austria
  • Bertinga ‘Sassi Chiusi’ Sangiovese blend 2020, Toscana
