Asiate mixes contemporary American cuisine with delicious Asian influences, and all within one of the most unique dining settings in Manhattan. A combination of gracious service, inventive cuisine, stylish décor and stunning views ensure that the restaurant is a hit with both guests and locals alike.
Using Central Park views for inspiration, the focal point of the restaurant is an incredible tree-branch sculpture symbolizing trees in winter. Hanging from the ceiling, it is breathtaking in both scope and style. Add to this a huge wall of wine housing over 1,300 bottles and a seasonal menu featuring fresh, local produce, and you have the perfect environment in which to enjoy delectable cuisine.
Creatively accented with subtle Asian influences and flavours, Asiate’s offers contemporary cuisine with an Eastern twist. Using only the freshest, most flavourful ingredients, menu highlights include Butter Poached Lobster with white polenta and kaffir emulsion and Wagyu beef served with smoked potato puree, braised short rib and Yuzu Koshou.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we offer guests the choice of an a la carte menu, three-course prix fixe menu and for dinner, a seven-course Tasting menu. On the weekend, our three-course, prix fixe brunch menu attracts visitors and locals alike and includes such comfort food favourites as Gingerbread Pancakes with Honey Crisp Apple Compote, and Huckleberry and Mascarpone Stuffed French Toast.
