Contemporary American cuisine reaches new levels of perfection at Asiate, the restaurant located inside Mandarin Oriental, New York.
The sophisticated space is an ideal setting for the well-executed fare, which infuses an elegant touch of Asian flair. Though dishes typically change with the calendar, you can always expect your plate to burst with flavor, color and artful presentation.
Take in the views of Central Park through the 16-foot windows; the glittering tree-branch sculpture hanging from the ceiling; the beautiful china on your table; and the wine collection, which fills up an entire wall of the space. Asiate is just right for a celebration dinner or a power lunch.
