The owners of some of our favorite Delicious and Nutritious spots like Park Avenue and Smith and Wollensky's have a new baby in town: The Hurricane Club. It boasts a Polynesian theme, complete with a huge rum selection and pupu platters. Need we explain why we went there as soon as possible?
Brandon, Ladell, and Neha joined us for the adventure in gluttony. The restaurant serves most dishes family style, so we kind of overestimated how much to order. We tried the deviled eggs, tuna tartar and salad to start. Then it was on to meat and veggies: wings, ribs, shrimp, asparagus, broccoli, lobster pasta, and fried rice. Needless to say, we didn't come close to finishing all of it but certainly enjoyed sampling everything. To satisfy our sweet teeth, we closed the meal with a flaming creme brulee which was quite tasty.
Overall, the food was satisfying but nothing to necessarily write to Polynesia about. None of the flavors stood out as particularly unique, and it was overpriced. As DJ said: "Tasty but forgettable."
There would be two reasons to return to the The Hurricane Club, however: the drinks and the decor. We all enjoyed trying the different rum-based cocktails, and the interior design is entrancing. As soon as you walk in, you really do feel as though you're relaxing at an island lounge. Best bet: go there for a drink and fun atmosphere, but grab a full meal elsewhere.
