Raves and Reviews

"I am thinking about an excellent an excellent meal, recently prepared for me by Kelvin Fernandez the new Executive Chef at The Strand American Bistro at the Strand Hotel on west 37th street. Kelvin was one of George Lang's last Sous Chefs at the world famous Café des Artistes restaurant. As a C-CAP graduate and CIA scholarship winner, I am very proud of all that Kelvin has accomplished in his young career. Don't miss Kelvin's Melon & Prosciutto (made with watermelon), his Diver Scallops with Sweet Corn and Truffle Jus (perfect in every way), the Mint Scented Bean Ragu with the Rack of Lamb is a masterpiece, and don't pass up his Coconut Panna Cotta with the Lime infused Pineapple. A great way to end a summer meal! It was the first night of a new menu for a new Ex. Chef and the food and service are bound to continue their upward trend. Go before you can't get reservations and tell them to let Kelvin know that you are coming at Mr. Grausman's suggestion."
