Editorial Review

Mysterious next door neighbor to high-profile Spy Museum gains top ranking on posh foodies' to-do list. Brazen, streamlined interiors conjure a fleet of futuristic yachts: chrome, wood, white leather, butterscotch tones and sultry reds. Award-winning wine list is pure pornography to oenophiles. Americana novelty menu inspired by the unused pages of your mother's cookbook (rabbit pot roast, cherry-glazed quail) with matching side effects (i.e. lobster mac ‘n cheese). Dinner upstages play for pre-theatre crowd.
