"Swanky and splashy in all the right places, Troy Guard’s downtown destination lures corporate high-rollers and happy couples in equal measure for celebrations centered on sterling seafood towers and the full panoply of cuts — prime ribeyes, grass-fed filets, wagyu tomahawks. But the chef-driven menu has plenty more to offer: Among its greatest hits are the oak-fired carrots with herbed yogurt, carrot-top salad, and pistachio crumble; the grilled octopus with chorizo, romesco, and white bean-celery salad in sherry vinaigrette; and the triple chocolate-chip cookies." - Ruth Tobias
