Fine dining restaurant · Cooper Square

"Within a year of moving Anhelo (“desire” in Spanish) from Heritage Square to the ground floor of the Orpheum Lofts, chef Ivan Jacobo remodeled the new space, creating a spare, elegant room replete with white tablecloths, comfortable upholstered chairs, and a small, dramatically lit bar. The restaurant is now downtown’s single best option for gracious fine dining, offering a frequently changing modern American menu with entree prices ranging from $35 to $80. Selections might include crudo, luxurious foie gras ice cream (more savory than sweet), plump Kumamoto oysters on the half shell, and steak tartare on crunchy toasted brioche. For an even bigger splurge, consider the chef’s tasting menu ($200 per person) and, if you’ve got the cheddar, wine pairings (four options ranging from $95 to $225) selected by wine director Ryan Ansell." - Nikki Buchanan
