Fodor's Expert Review Hanson at the Chelsea

Tucked down a lane off Wind Street, the town's main nightlife area, this cozy restaurant is the most consistently reliable for good food in the city center. The London Ritz--trained chef deftly turns out delicious dishes made with the best local ingredients. The two-course lunch menu is good value, and the fish courses are the most popular option. Book in advance and ask for a table upstairs as the downstairs "cave" can be a bit claustrophobic.
