"The opulent French-Italian Mister Charles is part restaurant, part grand palace, with soaring ceilings and maximalist decor (we hope you like chandeliers). Buy out the whole restaurant if you just sold your tech company, but otherwise book the more manageable mezzanine. It seats 26 and has a dedicated bar to keep the stiff martinis and Italian white wines flowing. Guests can start with one-bite canapes like caviar-topped chicken nuggets served on passing trays, and then settle in for a seated dinner. Wagyu short rib Wellington is carved tableside with a fun flourish, and the arrabiata pasta is good enough to start a fork fight.
