Blenheim is owned by a Norwegian, Morten Sohlberg. The restaurant, located in West Village NYC, is named after his farm outside of the city, where they grow their own vegetables and raise their own meet (animals). The restaurant takes on a farm-to-table approach, which is impressive for a restaurant in NYC. The Team at Blenheim include Morten, Min Ye and the chef Ryan Tate.
The food was incredible, the service great and ambiance spectacular. Their wine list included Cavallotto's Pinner so I was very happy.
This place is definitely worth a visit. It was just such an amazing food experience. I will be coming back for sure.
If you are ever in NYC, check out Lupa in Greenwich Village on Thompson street. Lupa is one of Mario Batali's restaurants, one tier above Otto and one tier below Babbo.Mr. Batali openened Lupa in 1999 with Joseph Bastianich, Mark Ladner and Jason Denton.
Just make sure you book a table, they fill up quickly. You can drop by, they have a few tables available for walk-ins, but reservations are recommended. The food, mainly Roman, is superb, wine list wonderful and staff exceptional. You can look at their Wine List.
I have been going to Lupa for years, and will keep going. My usual dinner consists of assorted meats for an antipasti, Bucatini al'amatriciana as a main course, and cheese for dessert. I usually also go for the Ettore Germano Herzu, one of my favorites.
