Went to Brasserie 360 over the weekend with the family. They asked me to pick a place in the Upper East Side to celebrate my promotion (yippee!) and I went on nymag.com, closed my eyes and chose at random (after, like, looking at the menu and being satisfied with that). My finger, once landing on my monitor, rested on top of a bunch of pixels that formed the words “Brasserie 360″. With that we were off to our dinner at this quaint french restaurant.

For the sake of this blog and my stomach, we ordered the trio of kobe beef sliders. We had our sliders topped with bleu cheese. The soft, fluffy bun overpowered the meat and the tomato, while resting nicely on top of it all, battled with the kobe beef for the primary flavor in these tiny burgers. If you buy kobe sliders, it would be nice to taste the kobe beef.

My main was the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna with Red Swiss Chard. It was fantastic. I love Swiss chard and the tuna surrounding that mountain of greens was seasoned well. The tuna was cooked perfectly at medium-rare and fell apart at the slightest touch of my fork.
