The Best Fancy Restaurants in NYC, According to Eater Editors

"Christophe Bellanca’s Michelin-starred restaurant is one of the best restaurants on the Upper West Side, a fine dining temple with choices like a $255 tasting menu with items like wild red king crab and foie gras; a prix fixe menu with two or three course options starting at $175, and a more casual bar menu with frogs legs, sea urchin, scallops, Rohan duck, and yes — even a burger ($32). Book reservations online." - Melissa McCart
