The current hotspot for fixtures in the Financial District. Literally, the ideal location for a work lunch or meeting, and it's also a popular spot for after-work drinks, dinner, etc. For the most part, I know it as the go-to for many colleagues and executives - it's a place to see, and be seen, while eating a meal where quality of the food meets quality of the environment. Beautiful decor, carefully prepared food, attentive service, and you're treated very, very well - a great spot for both professional and personal meet-ups.
I visited for lunch recently and we ended up sharing a few appetizers. Prices are what you would expect, but the variety of the menu was certainly a surprise to me - from steak, to burgers, to salmon, to chicken wings. The menu isn't pretentious at all and caters to a variety of palates. We ordered: the Beef Carpaccio, Dry Rub Chicken Wings, Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps and the Soy-Dijon Salmon to share. Everything was cooked perfectly, with the Beef Carpaccio starter being the highlight. Generous portions, well-seasoned. No complaints and a wonderful surprise to discover that the food is just as excellent as the atmosphere.
It's located at the southwest corner of Bay and Adelaide. Also note: make reservations. This place gets busy, especially with large groups. So book your table earlier than later.
