My first experience with Park 75 was while taking advantage of midtown restaurant week. Since the restaurant is in the Four Seasons Hotel, I was expecting a very formal restaurant with white table cloths and a stuffy atmosphere. Needless to say, this was not the case. Once I arrived, I was immediately drawn to the bar area where there was a man on a baby grand piano. The bar area was great for mingling. After a glass of prosecco, my guests and I were promptly seated at our convenience. As I mentioned before, the dining room was much more simplistic than I had expected. People were wearing upscale casual attire. Our servers arrived with a mini gazpacho of sorts, they were very friendly and accommodating. I started with a Georgia butterbean soup with a tortellini in the center and topped with shaved black truffle, about which everyone at the table was raving. For my main course I had the halibut with roasted corn and pea ragout, which had a fantastic flavor. Complimentary ice wine and desserts were also sent to the table. The experience reminded me what hospitality is all about.
