Never Just go to any Sushi restaurant....


Before i begin my new adventure in Boston, i want to end my journey in NY with the ideal Sushi restaurant, Ace

The restaurant is located in Thornwood, NY, right outside of my best ski buddy's, Lauren's, villa in the notorious Jewish (J.A.P) community of Chapaqua. 

When you are thinking about sushi for the evening never think about hitting the local Japanese sushi restaurant, think about a sushi restaurant that has much more to offer than a white rice california roll OR simple veggie roll from your grocery store... 

GO further to discover the ultimate and creative sushi appetizer and entrees in your area. 

I love sushi and the Japanese - FRENCH inspired cuisine that Ace offers gives its clients the best experience of dining out when one is in the mood for sushi. 

The rolls are wrapped in cucumber and fish skin as well as fruit. The menu can satisfy anyone and everyone's taste. Ace also takes into consideration any special orders that would satisfy a diner's pallet. 

Lauren and I usually get three rolls and split a roll that we have NEVER tried before. The rolls are large and french influenced which adds to an even greater dining experience THAN their counter sushi restaurants in the area.   

For an appetizer i ALWAYS get the house salad because unlike the mainstream sushi restaurants, Ace's salads are large with an array of veggies from the local farmer's market and my favorite, the ginger dressing is out of this world. 

Lauren usually goes a bit more exotic and tries the most bizarre appetizers they are offering that day as a special. A dinner guest, like my ski buddy, Lauren, always adds to the ultimate dining experience because they will go even further out of their comfort zone to order the most abstract selection on a menu. (I have seen Lauren eat Octopus at a sushi restaurant at an airport in Portland, Oregon). 
 
Lastly, our wine selection is always light at this French inspired sushi restaurant, because we usually are ordering raw fish and want a light beverage to wash it down with. Especially on HOT summer days, Ace has outside (patio) seating and their crisp, cold, house, selection of Pinot Grigio adds to the perfect summer evening. 

Lesson of today: when going out for sushi always try to pick a restaurant that is inspired by another popular cuisine. AND always choose your dinner guest wisely in order to create the overwhelming experience that one can get when dining out.

  1. This blog entry is 100% accurate. I could not describe this restaurant as a whole with the details of wine, food choices and experience better myself.
