Upscale Chinese Food Headed To Miami Beach
Gansevoort South, a branch of the Gansevoort Hotel in New York City, is scheduled to open in early-to-mid-March with two new restaurants (among other things, like a rooftop pool and a David Barton gym). One of the restaurants will be Philippe by Philippe Chow, also a branch of a New York restaurant. We don't know too much about Philippe Chow, so we thought we'd do a little research.
Here's a sampling of what MenuPages users had to say about the Upper East Side restaurant in the last year:
This meal was one of my top five in New York (and I've lived here for 7 years). The shrimp lettuce wrap was a great start and the duck is truly their signature dish ( it's amazing and worth the 40 minute wait). The crab legs were also delicious. Our waiter (Nick) was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. The music was a great mix and almost seemed like your favorite playlist on your ipod. Weekdays recommended for manhattan natives.And...
Despite the small space, there are some other great attributes that make Phillippe a special and a homelike place. I agree sometimes you find this place overcrowded but it's nothing more than a sign of good restaurant combined with great food, great atmoshere, great sheff and, of course, GREAT OWNER. He took care of us (5 people) so well, giving us his table.... Food is over the top...Many probably know this place for Chicken Sautee but....I highly recommend the DUCK! It was just outstanding and taste was overwhelming.... Great appetizers and Grea Wine! You also can enjoy a cigar, in a secret room which can yet discover...So, it seems like everyone should order duck.
