My bigger issue is how boring the descriptions are. I mean, it's clearly a pretty high-end place, and I'm sure the actual food is doing something unique in it's execution, but the descriptions sound like shit they'd serve at a fucking brew pub.

The most expensive thing on there is $35. Unless you have a very different definition of high end to me, then that's midrange.

It looks like the kind of menu the restaurant at the end of my street puts out once a month. It's OK, but mostly fusion stuff and a bit full of itself.

It's not obvious to me what those items are, but going from the descriptions I'm almost certain it's the kind of joint where you order like four or five items per person. That would make it high end, even by NY standards.
