Why Park Slope?
I love Queen in Bk Hghts. Roberta's in Bushwick is hipster cool. But w/o drinks I can't imagine a Bk restaurant that will hit $150. There are a couple place that have 20 course tasting meals, but you have to call one morning to get a reservation, and cross your fingers.

downtown? Tribeca Grille?
And actually, especially this time of year, the restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental (UWS) is a stunning view of the park, if you can get near the window.
and this
http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.c...-at-the-nomad/ is the bestest meal ever- but reservations are impossible- make a call try to get one, because they will love you forever if you get them this meal. They put butter on radishes.
