Hortus NYC is a hidden gem in NoMad, offering a modern take on Korean-inspired dishes that are both flavorful and inventive.One of the standout features is their tasting menu, which offers excellent value for the quality of food. The salmon crudo and waygu gui are must-try starters, both bursting with freshness. For mains, the duck breast is tender, and perfectly cooked, the truffle donabe and waygu sotbap are rich and delicious.The ambiance is intimate, making it an ideal spot for date nights or small gatherings. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the staff is knowledgeable about both the menu.DRINKS: because they are located across from a church, they do NOT serve hard liquor. They have wine, beer, and cocktails are either sake or soju-based. Still a great selection! - Sid Ko
