Chefs and foodies are raving about chef Matthew Kneipp's ever-changing menu. Located in a modest Victorian home redone in a palette of taupes and silvers, Platine's minimalist aesthetic and unpretentious service focus diners' attention entirely on what's on their plate. You wouldn't want to miss a single taste of the oyster beignets with caviar, shallot purée, and red wine vinaigrette, or the perfectly prepared pan-roasted kudu with butternut squash purée and fig tart fine. The cold fondant of dark Belgian chocolate alone merits a visit.
