Description

Set on the 18th floor of a medical center, guests are welcomed into this restaurant by warm leather banquettes and cool marble tables. If that doesn't scream conviviality, look out for the buzzing crowds and wall of suspended wine bottles. This is an elegant and panoramic dining room, surrounded by a host of high-rises. 
Settle in for a spread of family-style plates. There's the requisite burger, but dishes also flaunt a great deal of ingenuity. Sample contemporary twists on American classics, whereby buffalo wing flavors are re-imagined in the "chicken chicharrón" with bright orange powder-dusted rice crisps and blue cheese foam. Such showmanship reaches a peak over cocktails, lit on fire, and desserts like the chocolate pot de crème smoked at the table.
