Wrought-iron lamps and fans hang from the high ceilings, and delft tiles decorate the walls at this favorite spot of executives and politicians. Visiting dignitaries have been dining here since the turn of the 20th century. The feeling, as you might expect, is formal, the wine list is extensive, and the European-centric menu includes excellent steak, salmon with basil and red wine, and pheasant with foie gras. Prices are stratospheric by local standards.
