Fodor's Expert Review Manhatta

Enter at street level and rise 60 stories to experience both an exceptional menu and incomparable views at this 2018 addition to the upscale Financial District restaurant scene. The new American lunch and dinner menus are both short, allowing for nuanced, carefully prepared dishes featuring seasonal ingredients and delicate touches of French flair; opt for the chef's tasting menu ($165) for an inspired experience. The open kitchen is decidedly modern, while the sophisticated dining-room atmosphere works for chic executives, special occasions, and discerning downtown visitors alike. Reservations are essential, but a spontaneous visit may still be accommodated at the bar, which serves an à la carte menu and fine libations (including nonalcoholic cocktails), with north-facing views of Manhattan as the backdrop.
