Stingaree

$$-$$$, American, Downtown


Fodor's Review:

You wouldn't expect to find fine cuisine at a hip, three-level nightclub, but then you discover Stingaree. Chef Antonio Friscia wows with dishes like calamari, scallops, and prawns in a spicy ménage à trois; gourmet macaroni and cheese studded with bacon; local fish in a medley of veggies from Chino Farm; and Vanden rose pork loin with fingerling potatoes and fig demi-glace. Dress to impress at Stingaree, which is done up in ultra-mod tones of chocolate, turquoise, and orange. A spectacular wine list ranges from reasonable California and French labels to once-in-a-lifetime bottles such as Domaine Romanee Conti. A generous happy hour called Six at Seven offers Kobe beef burgers or asparagus and porcini ravioli for $7 between 6 and 7 PM. On weekends the dining room rocks; buying dinner allows you to skip the long line and $20 club admission.
