Wooo success. Went to John Dory at the Breslin after reading rave reviews in the Times and being crazily desperate to go...got there, put our names down, heard an hour wait (which was infinitely better than I expected on a Saturday night) and ordered some delicious drinks (started with a Pomegranate Collins which was a GIN drink and I enjoyed it! craziness), and like, 20 minutes later we were seated. Awesomeness.
So - ordered everything that was raved about in reviews. Unfortunately the special mussels stuffed with veal (right???) were all gone by that point in the night...but I think we made out alright. Got:
1. cold poached lobster
2. Nantucket scallops - amazing. Like, right out of the water, and I normally hate scallops.
3. parsley & anchovy toast
4. oyster and scallop pan roast - ahhhh. Butter and awesomeness and Alice definitely drank this like a soup. so good.
5. octopus with potatoes - also delicious! Love octopus.
6-7. chorizo stuffed squid. yes, ordered two of these, definitely worth it.
8. got three orders of the parker house rolls which are just like, potato butter heaven breads. Mmmmmm.
And then drink 2 - decided to stick with gin and got a Star Daisy, also delicious and definitely strong. Obviously girls night out dinner had to end with dessert...chocolate malt ice cream w/honeycomb and a fruity lemony meringue thing.
Awesome dinner. Could definitely live on their drinks, rolls, and scallops/octopus/oyster pan roast thing.
