Upper Modern Bistro

I put Upper Modern Bistro on my must-try restaurant list ever since they opened its doors last year.  Why?  Because I’ve been reading rave review’s of Chef Philippe Orrico’s first restaurant.  Formally the executive chef of St George at Hullett House (and prior to that, a chef at Pierre of Mandarin Oriental) Chef Philippe has earned himself quite a reputation.

Work hasn’t been exactly a breeze recently, so I’ve been easing my work pain with delicious meals on the weekends.  And last weekend when I was craving Japanese food again, we had an impromptu lunch at the fabulous Inagiku, located in IFC mall, adjacent to the Four Seasons.
