A wall of flame between bar and dining room. A huge red center table. A dramatic open kitchen. All of this means you’re entering a high-style zone. The menu at this contemporary spot is equally flawless, with food so sophisticated it’s hard to describe. Think New American, with a strong Japanese influence and touches of French and Italian. Chef Hiro Sone is in charge of dinner, which slinks elegantly from raw (pristinely cut sashimi, tartare or barely smoked fish) to cooked (anything from sake marinated cod to lamb two ways). His wife, Lissa Doumani, takes on pastry chef duties, showcasing perfect seasonal fruit in tarts, pastries and ice creams. Order from an edited version of the menu, paired with deliciously intricate cocktails, in the also-stylish bar.
