    First time coming here on a Saturday, the place was packed, but I could still talk to my girlfriend with no problem. While the calamari was overcooked, the flavor was still good. The Sea Bass special entree was out of this world and cooked perfectly - such an amazing dish. The tres leches was an amazing way to end the evening and is sooooo good at Fusion 27.

    We were in New York the Sunday before New Year’s, and had the great fortune of going to Sugar Bar. I seen Valerie Simpson on TV a few days before and it reminded me of this restaurant. So glad I happened upon that interview. A New York neighborhood restaurant bar was full of chatting people having a good time. The food was good. The drinks were great and the desserts scrumptious. More importantly, it was beautiful to pay how much to Ashford & Simpson. It reminded me of growing up with their music in the background.  We went on a Sunday; next time I’ll be sure to go on a day that they have music!
