Charlie Trotter’s protégé Michael Taus runs Zealous with a Trotter-like attention to detail and innovation. Menus change constantly, but you can expect them to be daring, with dishes such as veal paprika with potato gnocchi and trumpet mushrooms. Put yourself in the chef’s hands with a five- or seven-course tasting menu. This is event dining amplified by the thoughtful Asian-influenced décor.
