"This longtime go-to for polished New American cuisine is now taking reservations for its four-course prix fixe tasting ($110 per person): The naturally sophisticated menu includes a choice of such dishes as crispy duck confit salad with mimolette and hazelnuts, lobster gnocchi with Meyer lemon and saffron, and pan-seared scallops in salmon roe beurre monte with pear-celery root chutney and crispy leeks, as well as warm chocolate cake with Green Chartreuse ice cream for dessert." - Ruth Tobias
