Set in a modern townhouse on the Upper East Side, Geisha is seafood whiz kid Eric Ripert’s inspired translation of Japanese cuisine. While he is still manning the stoves at Le Bernardin, here at Geisha, his love affair with seafood is in full bloom. Dishes include coconutmarinated fluke with coconut ponzu, lime vinaigrette and orange essence, bowls of tiger shrimp dumplings with toasted pumpkin in a green curry broth, and dishes of dayboat cod with warm pepper and snow pea salad in soy ginger butter—not to mention chic platters of sushi, sashimi and signature rolls prepared by a pair of seriously skilled sushi chefs.
