"Always a contender to be the city’s top restaurant, Veritas has had many different lives over the last 10 years. Today, it’s the spot to impress a business client or cheers to something special. The tasting menu is around $105 and dishes change often, usually based on wherever the chef has traveled to most recently. Take the Japanese “supper club,” which had things like delicate chawanmushi and perfectly-marbled A5 wagyu nigiri. Or the Thai-influenced menu, featuring a modern take (hello, liquid nitrogen) on the traditional dessert mango sticky rice. Does it take itself a little seriously? Sure. But the result is immaculate plating, well-choreographed service, and outstanding food. Once you’ve thrown down the company card for dinner or taken your last sip of celebratory wine, head upstairs for a nightcap at The Citizens Trust, an old bank building reincarnated as a cocktail bar." - Erin Edwards
