Corduroy is one of those surprise places that are somewhat unexpected. In this case, the location has a lot to do with it (look for the sign that says TG Cigars and the restaurant is right next to it). The chef is extremely talented, and everything about the restaurant is outstanding. The man learned from the best, and he knows the value of utilizing the very best ingredients. Chef Tom Power worked with Michel Richard, and he learned his lessons well. His menu includes the likes of Prime Beef Striploin with Lyonnaise Potatos; Braised Niman Ranch Pork Belly with Savoy Cabbage; Barneagat Light Sea Scallops with Jerusalem Artichoke Sauce; and the Peppered Rare Big Eye Tuna with Sushi Rice and Hijiki. You are going to love this place.
