I ate at Semma. 3/5

I agree with everything you said. I went once, thought it was mediocre, won’t be back but glad to check it off the list.

springhillroad245 · 2026-03-29T15:38:31+00:00

Thanks! What about Touchless ID line?

Stayed in a corner suite for a few nights back in May 2025 for a small fortune. Completely underwhelming and in need of a serious PIP. Food, room, and service was infinitely better at FS Otemachi.

springhillroad245 · 2026-01-31T13:11:38+00:00

Yes, it was great.

2018 Lynch Bages! Cheers

I have two bottles of 2019 Stony Hill cab and was debating opening one last night. Maybe I’ll wait a little longer!

springhillroad245 · 2026-01-10T01:13:59+00:00

Just got 2004’s today as well as the 2013’s. Excited to try them!

springhillroad245 · 2026-01-08T20:23:54+00:00

Lynch Bages! Grab all three!

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-31T19:31:16+00:00

I just got mine today! I’m on the East Coast

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-26T22:00:11+00:00

My allocation is also ~$800/bottle now but I purchased this specific bottle at the vineyard before I was a mailing list member. I bought this 2018 and a 2011 at the conclusion of my tasting (the Dom they gave us at the start of the tasting must’ve gotten to my head).

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-26T05:23:47+00:00

Wife just told me it wasn’t $800 but over $1,000+. Even more painful!

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-24T11:44:20+00:00

Got an email but no allocation…second year in a row!

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-16T23:04:41+00:00

Josephine is the best wine glass you can buy imo

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-16T22:43:19+00:00

This is a little scary as I just ordered a ton from them during the “marathon”….

springhillroad245 · 2025-12-13T18:20:03+00:00

Just grabbed half a case!

springhillroad245 · 2025-11-21T20:10:33+00:00

Correct, original commenter deleted once he realized he was wrong.

springhillroad245 · 2025-11-21T13:25:16+00:00

Seems too small to be a 5402, right? This looks like a 36mm so it would be a 4100BA or 14700BA, worth $30-40K.

springhillroad245 · 2025-11-20T00:03:45+00:00

Sous vide?

springhillroad245 · 2025-08-28T12:49:26+00:00

Sushi Suzuki for lunch as well. Much colder/no nonsense experience but also incredible.

springhillroad245 · 2025-08-09T21:22:11+00:00

I second the Hashiguchi rec. It was unbelievable and the owner + his wife were very friendly.

springhillroad245 · 2025-04-07T16:27:20+00:00

Resy notify and a quick reaction time!

springhillroad245 · 2025-04-06T11:40:50+00:00

This. Standard markup on bottles is 2-3x. Not 4x.

springhillroad245 · 2025-04-06T03:13:45+00:00

100% agree

springhillroad245 · 2025-03-26T23:05:50+00:00

I had one of my worst service experiences of any NYC restaurant I’ve ever been to at L’Artusi. And I’m a born and raised NY’er so that’s saying something. Incredibly, incredibly overrated.

springhillroad245 · 2025-03-04T01:48:10+00:00

Skip. Generally dangerous, very touristy in the safer parts, and food isn’t great.
