The Scene
The chic bar and the main dining area, with its muted yellow walls, high ceilings and tiny wire-strung spotlights, are both welcoming and stylish. The same can be said for the service; from the maitre d' to the bartender and waiters, the staff is poised, but not aloof. Although lunch is casual, dinner can be quite a scene, as the pretty people congregate for exotic cocktails.

The Food
Highlighting fresh, seasonal ingredients, the chef's stylistic influences come from all over the globe, from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean. For starters, try the Thai lamb spring rolls with fennel and mint salad. Roasted chicken is a perennial dinner favorite, served with a rich, smooth, downright divine version of garlic mashed potatoes. Brunch offerings might include a sandwich of perfectly roasted eggplant and peppers with creamy goat cheese that's wrapped, Middle Eastern-style, in toasted lavash bread.
