Quietly elegant, heavily mirrored and bouqueted, and playing mostly to a society crowd, this spot is among the city's most lauded seafood restaurants—and among the most expensive. The kitchen, known for using exquisite ingredients, assembles beautiful preparations that are seriously fancy but not too fussy: tuna tartare with Moroccan spices, Hawaiian walu with steamed potatoes, Atlantic cod with polenta. Lunch is à la carte, but dinner is a $68 three-course prix-fixe affair with plenty of choice in each category. Lottery winners can opt for the seven-course tasting menu for about $30 more. Service is as smooth as silk, desserts are showy, and the wine list is as high-class as the clientele.
