Olives at W New York

I just got back from New York a few days ago and enjoyed some wonderful dining. A Todd English restaurant, Olives was a clear standout. Take a date there -- he/she will be impressed. It's got a cool youngish vibe going, with pretty people and elegant decor. It's very dimly lit, which made the menu somewhat difficult to read, but whatever. We started out with the fig and prosciutto flatbread, and even though I don't like figs, I enjoyed this (once I flicked the figs off). Our entrees included crispy Long Island duck and a Niman Ranch pork shank (hereafter to be known as the Meat Tower of Destruction). I'm generally not one to appreciate presentation, but as a guy, I found this impressive. The pork was served with the shank positioned vertically. The whole thing was maybe a foot high, so had it toppled, it probably would have splattered cabbage risotto and Pommery-cider glaze over half the citizenry in the five-burrough metroplex. The meal was paired with a bottle of 2002 Culler Syrah -- elegant and nicely structured, its rich dark berry fruit worked beautifully. Joe, the sommelier, was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to talk to, and the overall service was excellent too. I love New York.
