"At Vestal, much of chef Sullivan Zant’s stellar new Southern menu sizzles at the 14-foot fireplace central to the restaurant. But first, try some pristine, raw seafood, such as shucked-to-order Gulf oysters or tuna crudo with ponzu and truffles. Next, try a grilled wedge with candied pecans or save your appetite for the wagyu or 16-ounce ribeye, perfectly caramelized by fire. The crab spaghetti may not get fired, but this dish oozes umami, thanks to the dashi cream sauce bathing the giant morsels of blue crab scattered with roe." - Sarah Bisacca
