I've seen and experienced some 'avant garde' and over the top stuff
but this review made me laugh
out loud. I mean, seriously? I guess if you are in it for an
evenings wierd entertainment, go for it but
no thanks.

................Romera is Manhattan’s newest culinary oddity, an
elegant hideaway whose conceits include the pairing of each dish in an
11-course meal with a lukewarm flavored water in a lidded grappa
glass. One water might be infused with leek and radish, another with
jasmine and dried seaweed. Most taste like indecisive teas, commitment-
phobic broths or pond runoff.

“Feel free to smell them,” said a server, as if I might otherwise feel
jailed. “And to taste them.” He paused. “Make a memory of them.”

While blazers are optional at Romera, straitjackets would be a fine
idea..........................
