The Artisan Salumi Santana is described by Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale’s as Rustic Paté, Dijon and Country Bread, but you can see that it’s a lot more than that. Can you believe that all these Meats are made and cured in the restaurant? My favorites are on the entire bottom row and top left corner of the platter pictured here. I especially liked the Smoked Meat (bottom corner) and both Patés.
The above was served with this Bread — I liked the presentation and stylish Bread Rack. And... Read Full Story

Thank you for the amazing food and the opportunity to look around. As of this date, Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale’s has been open one week. My experience tells me that it deserves to have many... Read Full Story
Charlie Palmer Steak is one of my favorite steak houses in the city. Unlike the other great steak restaurants in town, CP Steak has a very modern, chic ambiance rather than the dark, wood paneled walls of its peers. The food at CP Steak is fantastic and as many times as I've eaten there, I've always had great service. Dinner prices are a bit steep with most entrees priced above $30 -- the filet is $36 or you can go all out and have Kobe beef at $20 per ounce. However, CP Steak has one... Read Full Story
