Staple your AmEx Centurion Card to your forehead and stride confidently inside Hunt & Fish Club, a flashy new bi-level surf & turf joint that recently opened in midtown.
As you can see from the photos, they've spared no expense playing up the opulence, which includes 50,000 pounds of marble adorned with work by artist Roy Nachum. A private dining room upstairs takes its "Green Room" moniker literally with a "self-watering living green wall," an arched skylight and a mirrored wall etched with diamond patterns.
The main dining area—dubbed the "White Room"—boasts multitudes of white, from the tablecloths to the marble floor to the dazzling chandelier-type light fixture with hundreds of bulbs. Next door, the "Black Room" bar area, where one can sip $15 cocktails and gaze at a topless woman atop a horse (painting, not person). You can look and touch this painting, as Nachum incorporates Braille into his works. Score, bro!
The city's post-recession beef boom is on full display here, with six cuts ranging from an 8 ounce Filet Mignon ($44) to the 16 once Kosher Cut Boneless Ribeye ($58). Beyond beef there's a Roast Organic Chicken ($26), or double your money for a 2.5 pound Lobster, ringing up at $50. Smaller dishes include an Oxtail & Bone Marrow French Onion Soup ($17), Thick Cut Nueske's Bacon ($9) and Tater Tots ($12) topped with shavings of black truffle.
