Ai Fiori NYC Review: Elegant Dining with Top-Notch Service but Moderate Flavors

[rating:3]

This is one of those fancy restaurants that I have been meaning to check out for a very long time, yet have never gotten around to it. I simply didn’t remember, but finally after years, I had the opportunity to try out Ai Fiori. Several nights ago we celebrated both my wife’s parents’ birthdays, they are one week apart so we did the combo thing. The restaurant of choice was Ai Fiori. There was nothing I could do about the little holes on my old shirt at that point, or my uncleaned eyebrows, but I did shave and gel up my hair after a quick workout! Hahaha.

Right off the bat, I have to tell you that Ai Fiori is not cheap; it is a high-end restaurant, and my impression was that most of the people in there seemed quite well dressed. I think I may have said something along the lines of “Wow, everyone here looks sharp, and I got on this old shirt with holes in it! Gangsta!”

As one would expect from a fancy place, we started off with a tiny little soup in a cup, parsnip pear soup. Something that if you told me 10 years ago I’d be consuming, I would have laughed in your face. But you know, I’m fancy now. Hahaha..
