Atmosphere
Elegant, grand and glamorous, the restaurant has a ground-level bar and lounge with soaring ceilings.

At the back, a glassed-in kitchen lets diners watch the action.

Moderate.

Broccoli soup with Cheddar puffs; kampachi with ají amarillo; fluke tartare; ravioli with Berkshire pork; spaghetti with sea urchin; agnolotti with winter squash; duck breast with chili-lime broth; butter poached lobster; baby beets; Wagyu beef strip steak; Mont Blanc; crème caramel. Appetizers, $19 to $44; main courses, $28 to $118; desserts, $14 to $34. There’s also a six-course tasting menu for $188.

Drinks and Wine
There are excellent housemade fruit and vegetable juices at lunch; craft cocktails like foie gras old-fashioneds might go overboard on creativity. The wine list is expensive and vast, with a few bargains from lesser-known regions. It’s worth asking the sommelier to help you find them.
