"Rich Table isn’t just one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood, it’s one of the best in the entire city. The menu here changes constantly, but classics like their porcini donuts or sardine chips are always available—and even if you’ve been here a million times, you’d be hard-pressed to guess what the new dishes will look or taste like. From aged beef wontons with chili crunch to sea urchin to plancha fried rice, the menu makes it easy to impress whoever you’re with. Reservations are released 45 days in advance at midnight on Resy. But you can always try the bar, where they hold spots for walk-ins every day." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
