Tasty Tidbits: Geisha



The refined and sensuous menu of Geisha was created by Executive Chef Michael Vernon of Geisha in collaboration with four-star chef Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin. Working with an Asian palette of flavors and classic French techniques each dish is brought to a high level of execution. Featuring exciting selections such as Hamachi and Bluefin Patchwork, Magret Duck, Grade A5 Japanese 100% Wagyu Kobe Beef along with Rack of Lamb and Roasted Lobster, Geisha crosses over into new culinary horizons. In the Sushi Bar, Master Sushi Chef Don Pham offers an exquisitely fresh range of new and traditional forms of sushi and sashimi.

Using elements of Japanese costumes, flowers and origami, David Rockwell of the rockwellgroup has created a restaurant interior that suggests the delicacy, beauty and mystery of the Geisha. The four individual spaces on two floors, each reflect a different aspect of the overall theme. Authentic fabrics, dark Maplewood paneling stenciled with cherry blossom, wall surfaces flecked in gold leaf, and strands of silver beads inspired by a Geisha's headdress are among the many exceptional design features of this restaurant.
