Grey Ghost is an expert in crafting epic epicurious experiences!
The downtown-based restaurant has long been a local favorite – and I found out why during my visit. Cozied up to the bar in the classy, dimly lit space, it was easy to forget everything in the outside world and focus simply on having fun – and consuming amazing flavors. From the bartenders to the chefs to the kitchen crew, the team members of Grey Ghost are virtuosos in crafting straight-up flavor voyages!
Take the cocktail I ordered during my visit, the Runaway Cowboy. From smoked maple to salt, amaro to orange to chocolate, the mezcal-based drink was oozing with exquisite flavor ambiance.
And with its kaleidoscope of flavors and textures, the Lamb Cordon Bleu was utterly delicious! The tender lamb was rolled up with rich manchego cheese, breaded and crispy deep-fried, dotted with piquant mustard seeds and diced cornichon, and served on a drizzle of roasted red pepper sauce. It was served with crispy-fried broccoli rabe, its bitter bite a satisfying accompaniment to the array of flavors in this artfully crafted dish.
And as the topper to this deliciousness, I treated myself to a piece of Grey Ghost’s Chocolate Cake. This rendition was topped with a white chocolate ganache, an ample piping of strawberry mousse, crunchy milk crumbles, and fresh mint. Mmm-mmm to that!
And mmm-mmm to Grey Ghost! From the food and the drink to the service and ambiance, everything I experienced there was on-point. And with its menus ever-evolving, no epicurious experience there is ever bound to be the same.
