Of course, to celebrate the event and the swanky environs, we started with two signature cocktails: the Nova Nero, which featured Woodford Bourbon, Antica and Averna. This was a refreshing twist on a traditional Manhattan style cocktail! We also tried the 125 Redeux, which is a unique combination of Hendrick's Gin, Lemon & Sage Simple, Lemon and Bubbles. The drink was bubbly and citrusy without being too sweet. Vey high class!
The Hunt & Fish Club has an extensive wine and liquor list that features only the finest brands and vintages thus ensuring there are no wrong choices to be made! Also of note is that all desserts and pastas are made in house!
Dining At The Hunt & Fish Club Is An Experience!
Among many other items in this review, the Hunt & Fish Club is well know for their table “bread,” the Pop Overs. This is the most delicious pre-dinner bread you’ll ever experience! The specially-seasoned herb butter served with them takes the Pop Over to new heights. You could easily spoil your dinner over these, as they are simply unbelievable!
We sampled two appetizers, the Wagyu Meatball and Pastrami Smoked Salmon. Wow ... They were both incredible. The Pastrami Smoked Salmon is a personal favorite of Chef Chad Brown and it really shows, with the love he puts into the dish evident at first bite! The Pastrami Smoked Salmon is cut to just the right thickness and has a bold Pastrami flavor without being overpowering. It is complemented with Lemon Aioli, Caper Berry and crispy Melba Toast.
The tender and flavorful Wagyu Meatball has a unique flavor from the wagyu beef and it just melts in your mouth! Covered in San Marzano Tomato Sauce and Three Cheeses this could also easily be a meal. It is impossible not to eat the whole thing!

Our two entrees were both Hunt & Fish Club specialties. The Stuffed Lobster was a sight to behold and event better to taste! The fluffy Crab Meat Stuffing set off the perfectly cooked and incredibly tender lobster. The stuffing was flaky and moist without being dry at all. This was a dish that kept on giving!
The 24oz bone-in Ribeye was served and, I must say, having eaten many steaks in my day, the cut of beef was extraordinary! It was extremely flavorful with a unique texture, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. No steak knife was needed!
We added two sides to the meal the legendary Lobster Mac & Cheese and their hand made Truffle Tater Tots. The Lobster Mac & Cheese lived up to its stellar reputation. With generous chunks of lobster smothered by the macaroni and cheese, this is a keeper. I’ve seen this dish Instagrammed many times and I’m glad we got to finally experience it first hand!
The Truffle tater Tots are also one of Chef Chad Brown’s favorites and they go through many steps of preparation for several days before they are ever served. They are twice delicately fried to deliver perfect flavor and consistency.
For dessert, we enjoyed the 24 Layer Chocolate. Chocolate lover or not, this is the perfect finish to the perfect meal. The cake comes with Whipped Caramel Ganache & Salted Caramel Gelato, which adds a little crunch to the dessert.
A dinner at the Hunt & Fish Club is very special indeed. Every aspect of the experience exceeds all expectations. You will leave here with a clear understanding of just how this restaurant has risen to the top of the NYC dining scene so quickly.
