"This 16th-floor Koreatown restaurant, from the team behind Jua, Moono and Ariari, gives you just about everything you want from pricey, special tasting—with a killer view of the Empire State Building to sweeten the deal. Eleven courses feature a range of unexpected little vegetable and seafood-forward dishes. A tiny bowl of poached lobster is a highlight, but not because of the lobster. That’s just a vehicle for a frothy, sweet, and intensely nutty sauce made from pine nuts grown upstate. The colorful dessert cart is a nice little touch." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick
