Innovative New York Restaurant Wins James Beard Award for Best Restaurant

Eleven Madison Park, named the best New York restaurant doesn't give you much choice: you can choose the ingredients that you'd like, but the dishes are prepared according to the chefs whims. The menu at this New York restaurant too is quite unlike the one you'd find in other New York restaurants; it isn't filled with gushing food descriptions but just mentions the names in true minimalist fashion, designed that way to encourage diners to enter into a dialogue with the servers.
Eleven Madison Park has won the award for the best New York restaurant after winning other coveted awards like Outstanding Service Award in 2004, and Outstanding Wine Award in 2008. Humm, the Swiss Chef of this special New York restaurant, has also won the award for Best Chef in 2010.
