Fodor's Expert Review Plank

The name says it all at this New York–inspired restaurant where entrées are grilled on wooden planks or Himalayan salt blocks. The smoky flavors of cedar, maple, hickory, and oak come through in signature dishes like grilled salmon or Beef Wellington encased in braided dough. Sides of mashed potatoes and Portobello mushrooms are served in mini–cast iron skillets, and flat breads are topped with goat cheese, figs, and arugula leaves. Cocktails such as the "Musty Mojito" add smolder to your meal. This is the place to celebrate birthdays, as the entire staff will burst out in song with cake and sparklers.
