Asiate
« "I'll be nothing when you're gone" | Main | Assassin's Creed »I had dinner this past weekend at Asiate. Excellent food.
Sorry, no signed menu although I did get to go back and talk to the chef for a bit after dinner.
And here's my big gripe about the entire evening. This restaurant has a 4 star rating from the Mobil Travel Guide for 2007. So, tell me again why they let people wearing jeans into the restaurant? The fact that you're in a hotel is no excuse. It's the Mandarin freaking Oriental hotel. If you can stay at this hotel, you can afford a decent pant, shirt, and jacket. If their dress code says "Smart Elegant" for dinner, they sure as hell don't enforce it!

Unless you are over 60, you'd know that premium jeans (with dress jacket) is the current standard of chic casual dress and is accepted at the finest restaurants on the planet. The average high-end pair of jeans costs more than any "dress slacks". The only places left that won't accept jeans are the low class Long Island clubs.
