Blue fin

Happy Birthday！
We went to Blue fin to celebrate and had meaty crab cake with tomato aioli and a clam and lobster chowder with truffle-laced croutons. In other places, a surplus of ingredients creates dissonant results, like cumin-dusted tuna over squash, baby broccoli and fingerling potatoes or an otherwise excellent salmon with a parsnip puree, lentils, mushrooms and pesto. Desserts deserve notice, especially the apple cider cake and sour-cherry almond cake. Sophisticated dining isn't what Times Square, 1567 Broadway, is known for, but this cavernous, beautifully designed restaurant, which occupies two floors of the W Hotel, is just that.
