After ordering a Manhattan-like cocktail, the Meydenbauer: Bourbon, Demerara Rum, Amontillado Sherry, Kirsch, Absinthe ($11.00) and after a brief glance at the menu, my husband found clams and mussels and panang curry...wow, what a wonderful surprise!
We enjoyed deviled eggs and caviar with our cocktails, then we were presented with an amuse Boucher from the chef. What a lovely treat of grilled waygu beef, tempura schisito peppers, and miso with seasonal vegetables...mmmmm!
I opted for the Selection of charcuterie traditional accompaniments ($19.00), Macrina seeded brown bread whipped honey butter, sea salt ($4.00) and a glass of Pinot Noir suggested by the general manager. My husband had the Taylor shellfish clams and mussels panang curry, sweet potato, thai basil, toast ($21.00) and a side of Belgian truffle frites ($9.00).
He paired his entree with a local Sauvignon Blanc. I tried one clam...delicious!!!
Before We finished off the meal with Lemon ricotta cheesecake fig compote, pomegranate seeds, candied ginger ($12.00) and a perfect Sauterne. 
This was my 4th visit to 99 Park and probably the best. Every table is a good table, great service, nice beverage selection and the food, even if the menu is "all over the place" is fantastic! If you ever go there and someone you know says , "I didn't like the food", "unfriend" them on Facebook and stop following them on Instagram!
