am pretty sure it had rock candy syrup in it, it was served in a martini glass garnished with only a cucumber slice, and it was perfectly clear. This sounds close, but is lacking the rock candy syrup: http

. The grilled romaine with anchovies and Caesar dressing was a fine finish. Oh, except for the molten chocolate cake dessert. Yes, a cliché, but with a little ice cream and crème anglaise, a perfect end to a drizzly eve. The...

....talk about a tail that gets screwed up at most restaurants....too many bartenders make them with just a dash of sweet vermouth (like a martini) or make them "perfect manhattans" with a half Sweet and half Dry vermouth. I have...

Looking for a good burger, UWS, want to walk from 68th street Sony movie theater.... for a large group(8) that also serves martinis, not just wine and beer (or nothing)!! HELP!!!

Martinis, Maytag Blue, oysters and tomatoes? It’s really amazing...4 of us LOVE Martinis, 3 of us LOVE blue cheese, 2 of us LOVE oysters, and 1 of us LOVES tomatoes. It’s like the perfect selection! Thank you so much....

We decided to treat ourselves to a night out, not worrying about $$ or any expectations. Why not eat at the newest restaurant in the valley? We did, and loved it. The Martini House is gorgeous. The minute we walked towards the...

I lost a bet on the world series. Well worth it to not side with the Yankees. Bet was for 2 doz (raw) oysters + 1 doz (raw) cherrystones. I lost a previous NCAA bball bet for a martini to the same fellow. Pay off time. What is...

On Thursday I headed up to the Napa Valley with a close friend and her family. For lunch we stopped at the Martini House in St. Helena. We ordered a bottle of the cakebread chardonnay and started with the green salad. The salad...

The Martini House was an unexpected pleasure! The converted home, unlike many others of its ilk, was dining (and patio) ready in a very unique-eclectic style. My husband and I sat in a booth by the open kitchen, and while not so...

What type of martini, classic, liquor preference, or modern "martini"?

Had a belated anniversary celebration in Napa this weekend and had two fine meals. The best was at Martini House in St. Helena. While I had heard good things, the meal far exceeded my expectations. I heard mixed things about the...

A martini doesn’t necessarily have to be dry. It’s my understanding that the first martinis were made with sweet (red) vermouth, and you can still find recipes for the "perfect martini" using equal parts sweet and dry...

: Old Raj Dry Gin – Expensive, but worth it. Best balance and lots of power for seasoned martini drinkers. Plymouth – The classic martini gin. Subtle and sophisticated. Junipero – Very juniper-heavy and punchy...

will be having dinner for two at martini house in a week. just wondering if anyone has recent experiences there – how was the food/service? any particular dishes or tasting menu recommended? thanks!

My husband (incorrectly) claims that plain Bombay makes a better martini than Bombay Sapphire. Tanqueray makes the perfect gin and tonic or gin and bitter lemon. Sapphire is perfect with a hint vermouth in a very cold, very dry...
