Zylo

A few years ago a W Hotel opened in Hoboken making it our first and only hotel (not to shabby)!  The hotel has a wonderful outdoor patio bar which is open from early spring to late fall (thanks to several large heat lamps).  During the last Hudson Restaurant week we decided to finally try the Hotels main restaurant Zylo on a Sunday evening.  When we arrived we were surprised to find out that they offer a weekly Sunday Supper special (4 courses served family style for $25 per person).  For the past week we have been trying to be healthy and not spend a lot of money eating out (healthy food is easy for us.. not spending a lot of money on eating out not so much).  We had plans to meet another couple at Zylo tonight but when they could not make it we decided to still go out tonight.  Our dinner was just as good as we remembered it from last time so Zylo is this my Weekly Fav Restaurant. 

Our four courses:

CAESAR SALAD - garlic croutons, shaved parmesan cheese

SPAGHETTI POMODORO - heirloom pomodoro, parmigiano reggiano, basil

PESCADO MISTO - saffron lobster broth, bronzino, clams, shrimp, mussels, fried calamari, crostini

BOMBOLINI - brioche donuts, trio of passion fruit, chocolate, coconut rum sauces

I am now very tempted to try to replicate the Caesar salad and the spaghetti at home (I will leave the seafood dish to Zylo as it was divine but there is no chance of making that one at home).  We ordered the salad with the dressing on the side which allowed us to really understand the salad components.. romaine lettuce with plenty of salt, pepper and shaved Parmesan cheese.  The spaghetti was cooked very al dente with a flavorful but simple sauce.  As for the dessert we are being healthy so we only ate a few of the donuts but I loved the sauces so I ate them with a fork!  Oh and if you don't know about Hoboken it is directly across from Manhattan and the W Hotel and Zylo restaurant have a direct view!
