"Designed as a dinner-only restaurant and bar whose dining room will be a courtyard beneath a glass roof, Faux Pas aims to revive the elegant hotel dining of the early 20th century. Tafazoli cites inspiration from the partnership memorialized in the book Ritz and Escoffier — between Auguste Escoffier (creator of throwback dishes like Peach Melba) and hotelier César Ritz — and plans theatrical elements such as gleaming carts that will slice prime rib tableside alongside cold martinis." - Candice Woo
