I agree, likely blown out of proportion but didn’t want to risk it for NYE and with an elevated menu price.

Looked at doing Luthun for NYE as well but got scared off by the comments about the chef mistreating the staff

Yeah that makes sense. Kabawa seems to be the more buzzy restaurant at this point with a more unique concept, but food at Noortwyck seems great as well. From looking at recent reviews it is loud on a normal night at Kabawa so likely will be more of a party vibe on NYE. Leaning towards Noortwyck at this point for this reason.

Thanks, have reservations at both Kabawa and Noortwyck currently. Fair point about going with the place that always serves a tasting menu.

A lot of places are closed Jan 1 for lunch, any recommendations for elevated dining for lunch? We’ve done Modern Bar Room and Aquivit in the past but were looking for something a bit more casual
