"At first glance, Blue Duck Tavern in the Grand Hyatt might look like the kind of place where serious deals are made over a few martinis. However, the quality of their menu is the real reason people come here—bring some dining companions who are impressed by steak, caviar, and bone marrow. Ordering a la carte is great for a quicker meal, but every now and then we like to go all the way with the ten course tasting menu. Ask for a table near the open kitchen, because watching the expert tweezer work of the chefs is excellent dinner theater." - madeline weinfield
