MICHELIN 1 Star2023
From the OpenTable editors: For when only the biggest blowout celebrations will do, this Midtown hotspot's ultra-luxe menu—where caviar, naturally, is the star—can't be beat. Go for one of the three blockbuster tasting menus, where chef Edgar Panchernikov's showstopping plates of Japanese mackerel, white asparagus, and oysters are all topped with caviar. Velvet booths, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tall chandeliers only reinforce just how special it feels to eat here.
