12 reviews for Dorsia
After dropping off my sheets (that I can only get in Santa Fe) at the dry cleaners, I wanted to go to Hubert's to get rid of Victoria, but then I was reminded that they had actually moved uptown. In a moment of shear panic, Dorsia raced through my mind. Could I land a table on such short notice? Was Victoria wearing a Burberry or Comme des Garcons scarf? Jesus, Patrick. I calmed myself and hailed a cab. "Dorsia" was able to barely escape my dry mouth. I took two Xanax and managed to locate Dorsia in my Zagat guide, finally, my hands are steady enough to dial the number from my cellular telephone
I am seated in a prime booth across from the bar. A hardbody opens a bottle of Cristal and pours it into crystal TUMBLERS. I order the two most expensive items on the menu; the quail sashimi with grilled brioche and the baby soft-shell crabs with grape jelly.
Rock 'n' roll
There is no doubt that Dorsia is a beehive of activity, but it's not like i was sitting next to the Trumps or anything. The food was neither playful OR mysterious - like the mud soup at Arcadia... The portions left something to be desired. My Platinum American Express was gladly accepted. My pleasure was brief and quickly forgotten. I will only visit Dorsia once more. Besides, no one goes there anymore.
It is hard for me to make sense on any given level. My experience was constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better
I gain no deeper knowledge of Dorsia, no new understanding can be extracted from my telling. There has been no reason for me to tell you any of this. THIS REVIEW HAS MEANT NOTHING....

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Matt Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
As we arrive at Dorsia I'm on the verge of tears as I'm certain we won't get a decent table. But we do; relief washes over me in an awesome wave.
Listen, the mud soup and the charcoal arugula are outrageous here. New York Matinee called it "a playful but mysterious little dish".
Is that Ivana trump?
We're not through yet.
Hmmmm, I see they've omitted the pork loin with lime Jell-O.
Do you take credit card? Just joking.
I need to engage in homicidal behaviour on a massive scale can not be corrected but, uh, I have no other way to fulfill my needs.
I have to return some videotapes.

I looked this place up on Zagat - it seemed really good. Tried getting a table but they literally laughed when I called for a last minute reservation. That made me feel bad, so I did about 200 situps to blow some steam. Much better than the evil fantasies playing themselves out in my mind's eye.
A couple of times I've been on dates and they've wanted to come here, much to my chagrin. I didn't want to handle the humiliation of trying to get in again. It makes me feel so psycho & there's only a certain number of situps I can do. I guess I could put my headphones on and listen to some Phil Collins or Huey Lewis and the News - always makes me feel better.
When this place ceased being hot and I was finally able to come here, I realized that it was one of those over hyped places with mediocre food. I'm still miffed that other people got to try it first, though.

After my lunch meeting with Cliff Huxtable at the Four Seasons, I came here with my friends Tim, Paul and Marcus. We met Courtney, Evelyn and Allison there. Things get hazy after that. Tim gave me too much Xanax and and we spent too much time in the bathroom stall.
We picked at our food. The plates were big, the portions were small and the music was loud.

Good place. Tends to attract a really weird crowd though. This guy at the table next to me, was psycho.

No one goes there anymore. I go to a small TexArkana place that the Trumps frequent now
