Fodor's Expert Review Mandarin Grill + Bar

This famous dining room at the Mandarin Oriental mixes old-school elegance with chef Uwe Opocensky’s progressive gastronomical creations. While the menu sounds straightforward at first, the actual dishes appear like works of art, with plenty of playful flourishes. Perfectly cooked meats are served on plates shaped like giant cookbooks, while the restaurant’s famous “flower pot” salad is composed of organic greens arranged in edible soil. It’s no wonder that this restaurant has remained a firm fine-dining favorite with the city’s discerning foodies.
