$$$, American, Upper West Side
Fodor's Review:
Chef Tom Valenti's contemporary American restaurant, which helped pave the way for fine cooking on the Upper West Side when it opened in 2001, still reigns supreme with bold flavors, whether you're looking for stick-to-the-ribs fare like braised pork shank or grilled meats, or lighter selections like roasted sturgeon with chanterelle mushrooms and truffled rice. If that's not enough, the $27 multi-course Sunday brunch is a caloric orgy that will make you an instant convert.
